Detailed Guide to Brussels Griffon Care and Feeding

In terms of food preparation, 150-200 grams of meat should be provided daily, plus an equal amount of dry vegetarian feed and biscuits. The meat should be minced and cooked thoroughly, then mixed with the dry feed and water before feeding. The food must be fresh, and cleanliness and hygiene must be maintained during cooking.

Feeding should be done at fixed times each day, and the dog should be limited to finishing within 15-25 minutes; any leftover food should be removed immediately after the time is up, in order to cultivate good living habits. At the same time, clean drinking water should be provided. The feeding utensils used should be cleaned and disinfected regularly to ensure the dog stays healthy and free from illness.

This dog does not need a large amount of exercise, and it is not necessary to take it out for a walk every day. Occasional short walks, letting it move around in the yard, or appropriate jumping and trotting are sufficient.

For the rough-coated Brussels Griffon, the coat needs to be brushed and groomed regularly. During the grooming process, some old hair can be deliberately brushed out, which can encourage new hair to grow. The trimming procedure is as follows: start with the front body section, then proceed in order to the shoulders and elbows, and then trim the hair on the head, the beard on the lower jaw, the edges of the ears, and the outer sides of the eyes.

For grooming puppies, the main task is to trim some of the long hair on the ears; other hair around the edges only needs slight trimming. However, stray hair on the body and shoulders must be cut off. Hair that is too long behind the legs, on the toes, and on the tail should also be trimmed appropriately.

For the short-haired Brussels Griffon, the coat needs to be combed and washed frequently, or wiped with a soft cloth, to keep the fur clean and shiny at all times.

The toenails of both types of dogs mentioned above should also be trimmed regularly.

During the rearing period, attention should be paid regularly to observing the dog's mental state, whether its appetite is normal, whether its bowel movements are regular, whether there is diarrhea or constipation, whether there are any abnormal changes in the dryness or moisture of the nose pad, and whether its body temperature is normal. If any signs of illness are found, treatment should be given promptly and as early as possible.
