Grooming and care for a Eurasier: brush, bath, health
Eurasier : Its medium-length coat with dense undercoat needs only one or two weekly sessions with a slicker and rake, daily during the two annual sheds. With little odor and natural cleanliness, it rarely needs a bath.

In short: Medium dog, 48 to 60 cm and 18 to 32 kg, medium-length double coat with ample undercoat, moderate energy. A composed family spitz, reserved with strangers and deeply bonded to its group. Created for family life: it copes poorly with kennels and long absences, and needs to sleep inside the house.
Coat care, brush by brush
The Eurasier needs a slicker brush and a metal comb, two to three sessions a week; its seasonal moult is spectacular: for two to three weeks the undercoat comes out in handfuls and demands daily brushing. The ritual settles in early, in brief rewarded sessions — the brush then becomes bonding time rather than a chore.
Baths, claws, ears, teeth
The Eurasier’s bath comes round every two to three months — or whenever it is properly dirty —, always with dog-pH shampoo, never your own products. Check claws monthly, inspect ears at the same time, and brush teeth two or three times a week.
Health watch-points for the Eurasier
In the Eurasier, the documented watch-points are: hypothyroidism and hip dysplasia. Nothing inevitable, but they steer prevention — and at the first unusual sign, the vet decides, not the shop aisle. Life expectancy sits around 12 to 14 years.
