Brittany Grooming Profile

Brittanys are not hypoallergenic. They possess a dense, flat or wavy coat that sheds moderately year-round. This consistent release of dander and fur can trigger reactions in allergy sufferers. Regular brushing twice a week is necessary to manage loose hair and maintain their weather-resistant coat.

Brittanys are moderate year-round shedders with a dense, flat or wavy coat. While they do not experience massive seasonal blowouts like some double-coated breeds, expect some hair loss consistently. Regular brushing two to three times a week helps manage loose fur and keeps their wash-and-wear coat healthy and clean.

To maintain a healthy Brittany, brush their short, weather-resistant coat at least once a week to manage moderate shedding. Clean their floppy ears weekly and after swimming to prevent infections.
