Japanese Chin Grooming

Japanese Chins require regular grooming-two to three times a week if their hair is full length. As a part of the brushing routine you should check behind their ears for matted hair and check their skin for abnormal skin lesions or bumps.  Their hair should also be trimmed occasionally and the tail area checked for excrement build up. It is important to check their eyes and ears regularly and a good time to do it is when you groom them. Chins have protruding eyes that can easily be damaged if you're not careful.

Chins should also be given a bath every few weeks. When you give them a bath be very careful not to let water into their nose. The shampoo needs to be thoroughly rinsed out and the hair completely dried.
