Grooming

Because Basenjis don't shed as much as other breeds, keeping their short coat in good condition isn't too difficult. Brushing your pet on a regular basis can help keep their coat healthy and lustrous by removing tangles and distributing their natural oils more uniformly. To maintain a healthy coat, this breed often only needs to be brushed once a week using a rubber curry brush or a soft bristle brush.

The Basenji breed is well-known for its tidiness and absence of canine odour. You should only give them a bath when they start to look very filthy or start to smell bad. To keep your dog's hair from losing its natural oils, use a gentle dog shampoo every time you bathe them. Skin dryness may result from overbathing; thus, it is recommended to minimise bathing and attend to hygiene issues as they arise.

whether you want to know whether your Basenji is showing symptoms of skin irritation, dryness, or allergies, you need to check on him often. Ticks, fleas, and other strange lumps and bumps should also be checked for during this regular examination. It is suggested that you seek the advice of your veterinarian in the event that any skin disorders develop.

Because of their unusual ear anatomy, which has upright ears, Basenjis are more likely to have debris and wax in their ears. Make sure to check their ears often and clean them using an ear cleaner that your doctor recommends. Be careful not to enter anything too far into their ear canal, as this might cause injury.

The health of your Basenji depends on you maintaining a suitable nail length for them. In addition to being uncomfortable, long nails may alter their walk. To keep your Basenji's feet in tip-top shape, it's best to check on them often and clip them when necessary, even if walking on concrete might wear down the nails naturally.
