Because of its thick double-layered fur, grooming needs of a Caucasian Shepherd can be intense. The fur of the Caucasian Dog is designed to be resistant to freezing temperatures in mountainous areas.
It needs to be brushed at least three times per week to avoid matting. A Caucasian Shepherd sheds a lot of fur in the season of autumn and spring, which requires daily maintenance.
While bathing a large Caucasian Dog is rarely needed and can eliminate the natural oils in their body, keeping their thick coat free of debris is crucial to prevent skin infections and to maintain their health.
