6 reasons why you should trim your Bichon regularly
Keeping Skin and Coat Healthy: An unkempt coat can become very tangled, which can lead to mats. These lumps can compress the skin, interfering with normal blood circulation and causing irritation or infection.
Dog Comfort: Hair that is too long or tangled creates discomfort for the dog, especially in warm weather. In addition, tangles can stretch and hurt.
Hygiene: A shorter haircut helps keep the dog clean. Long hair can become dirty more easily, especially around the belly and paws.
Aesthetic appearance: Regular grooming will help keep your Bichon in perfect condition, giving him a beautiful and well-groomed appearance.
Detecting Health Problems: During clipping, it is easier to notice any skin problems, insect bites, tumors or other changes that may require the attention of a veterinarian.
Less hair loss: Although Bichons do not shed heavily, regular grooming will help reduce the amount of hair your dog may leave on furniture or clothing.
The Bichon Frise is a small but energetic dog breed with a vibrant personality. Their white, fluffy, and curly coat not only looks appealing but also has the advantage of shedding minimally, making them an ideal choice for allergy sufferers.
Features:
The main characteristic of Bichons is their lively and friendly nature. They get along great with children and other pets. Due to their intelligence and eagerness to please their owner, Bichons quickly learn commands.
Needs:
This breed requires regular care. Their fur can easily get tangled, so it needs frequent brushing and trimming. Moreover, Bichons need regular physical activity and playtime to stay in shape and be happy.

13 Steps to Maximize Your Bichon's Transformation
Full-fledged Peticure
We trim the nails even for the most scared and restless pets. No sedatives! In extreme cases, we trim together, holding the dog. Afterwards, we always file the nails so they don't scratch and shape them. Next is the antimicrobial treatment and moisturization of the interdigital folds, and the paws are treated with protective wax.
If you heard your pet clicking its nails on the floor - it's time for a trim.
Please note: in young dogs, due to overgrown nails, the skeleton may form incorrectly
Removal of hair from the ear canal
This is a mandatory procedure for Yorkies, Malteses, Shih Tzus, and Poodles. We pluck the hair from the ears because after trimming, prickly stubs remain that bother the dog. The pet may be anxious for the first time, but don't worry - the procedure is painless
Combing out mats
This is a necessary procedure. It allows to get rid of mats and prepares the fur and skin for bathing. Thanks to combing, the skin and fur are maximally saturated with beneficial substances from cosmetics. If the dog is not combed out beforehand, the skin will dry out during blow-drying and dandruff will appear
Bathing with premium shampoo, balm, and conditioner
We bathe your pet in a professionally equipped bath. The dog is restrained with a short leash to prevent it from jumping out unexpectedly. We use premium shampoo, balm, and conditioner, choosing them based on the type of fur and age (for puppies, adults, those with dry skin, etc.). The bathing cosmetics are made with natural oils, so the pleasant smell lasts for over a week. We also rinse and clean the eyes during this process
Fruit mask with silk proteins
Passion fruit mask with silk proteins.
It moisturizes and softens the skin, preventing dryness and flaking. It strengthens the hair follicles, making them firm and stimulating the growth of beautiful fur.
It nourishes the hair with beneficial components, making the fur smooth, elastic, and shiny. By preventing the penetration of ions from exhaust fumes outdoors, it keeps the pet's fur clean, shiny, and smooth for a long time
Teeth cleaning
Thanks to the toothpaste for our furry friends, dental plaque is quickly removed, keeping the enamel of the teeth clean and healthy, eliminating unpleasant odors and bacteria. And thanks to the special composition of the toothpaste, which has special taste qualities, all pets enjoy the process immensely!
Anal gland cleaning
The anal glands are specific sacs in which a secret substance accumulates, allowing pets to distinguish each other. But this secret doesn't always come out naturally, so they need to be regularly checked and cleaned to maintain your furry friend's health
Ear wiping and cleaning
After bathing, we dry the pet with an individual towel. We allow them to dry a bit. Then, we proceed to clean their ears
Drying and styling the fur
We dry the pet's fur with a professional grooming hairdryer (booster). It doesn't heat up and has special modes for adjusting power and warm airflow. During the drying process, we continuously comb the fur to straighten it and style it beautifully
Hygienic haircut
We trim the fur between the toes, on the belly, in the genital area and around the bottom (if necessary). We carefully shape the ears. If needed, we remove the fur in the corners of the eyes. We shape the lower contour of the paws
Breed/Model Haircut
We trim the body, paws and head of your pet to give it a breed-specific shape or a creative look. Before starting the work, the groomer will suggest haircut options that would suit your pet
Final Fur Polishing
In the end, we treat the fur with a special anti-static agent for dogs with a pleasant scent. After treatment, the fur becomes instant, doesn't electrify, and doesn't get tangled
Perfume
Application of the client's chosen perfume for an impeccable and very long-lasting scent

The Bichon Frise is a breed that just takes your breath away with its softness and elegance. Tracing its roots back to the water dogs of medieval Europe, this little pup was always a hit among the nobles. With their curly, fluffy non-shedding fur combined with a lively and cheerful demeanor, they’re the perfect sidekicks.
But that adorable look demands care and quite a bit of responsibility. The Bichon’s fur has a unique texture, needing some special attention to avoid matting and to keep it healthy. Not just their coat, but their overall health hinges on attentive care from their owner, ensuring any potential health issues are spotted early on and making sure they’re comfy.
We’re gonna dive into how to give your Bichon the top-notch care they deserve.
Bichon Frise Care Basics: Beauty & Health
When you look at a Bichon, there’s no doubt your eyes are drawn to its snowy, puffy fur. But that delicate coat requires some meticulous and careful handling to have the dog looking its best and, most importantly, feeling great.
Bichon’s hair doesn’t shed like most other breeds, which means it can easily get tangled, causing discomfort or even pain for the little guy.
Diet also plays a role in the fur’s condition. High-quality, balanced food ensures the dog’s overall health and the health of their coat. For silky smooth fur, it’s key to opt for food rich in proteins and balanced fats.
Another biggie in Bichon care is regular vet and groomer visits. Yeah, it might sound like a no-brainer, but given the Bichon’s dense coat, some health issues could fly under the radar.
So, if you’re thinking of getting a Bichon Frise as your fur buddy, brace yourself for not just tons of joyous moments but also a fair bit of grooming attention. But one look into the eyes of this little wonder, and you’ll know they’re worth it!
Bathing Your Bichon Frise: Keeping ‘Em Clean and Comfy
Bathing isn’t just about keeping your Bichon looking spick and span—it’s also a crucial part of keeping them healthy and relaxed. Here are some things to keep in mind:
Picking the shampoo: Choosing the right shampoo is key for their skin and fur health. Go for hypoallergenic shampoos with natural ingredients that won’t irritate.
Bathing frequency: Bichons don’t need to be bathed as often as you might think. Too much bath time can strip the fur of its natural oils. Usually, once a month or whenever your furry buddy gets dirty is plenty.
Extra bath-time care: Before getting your Bichon wet, give their fur a good brush to prevent any tangles. Once bath time is done, be sure to towel dry them and use a hairdryer (on a low setting) to prevent them from getting chilly.
Bath-time massage: Bathing is the perfect time for a gentle massage for your Bichon. It boosts circulation and relaxation, plus it gives you a chance to feel for any unusual bumps or spots on their skin.
Protecting the eyes and ears: When you’re bathing your Bichon, it’s important to ensure no water or shampoo gets into their eyes or ears. You could use protective caps or just be super careful when washing their head.
By following these tips, you’ll make bath time a breeze for both you and your four-legged pal.
Trimming Your Bichon Frise: All About Looks and Comfort
Why Regular Trimming Matters
Keeping your Bichon trimmed not only keeps them looking dapper but also maintains their coat and skin health. Their thick fur can quickly form matts, especially when long. Also, a shorter trim can reduce overheating risks during summer months.
DIY Grooming vs. Getting a Pro: What to Pick?
It might be tempting to trim your Bichon at home, but a professional cut ensures they get the right style that matches their breed’s quirks. Plus, groomers know the ins and outs of making the trim safe and comfy for your dog.
Popular Trim Styles and Techniques
Grooming a Bichon Frise is sort of an art where every little detail counts. Here are some popular styles and techniques:
“Puppy cut”: This style keeps the fur even and short all over. It’s the go-to for summer.
“Show cut”: Here, the fur is left longer, especially around the head, ears, and tail. It’s the kind of style you’d see at dog shows.
“Hand-scissoring”: Groomers use special scissors to give the Bichon’s coat a more natural feel. This technique takes more time and skill, but the outcome is always on point.
Clipping with a machine: Great for shorter trims, it lets you get your dog trimmed up fast and evenly. It’s crucial to have a good clipper with varying lengths. But always be super careful; one wrong move can injure your dog.
Choosing the Right Grooming Tools:
Selecting the right tools is essential for a quality Bichon Frise trim.
Grooming Clippers: Opt for clippers with multiple attachments to control the length of the trim. Models that don’t overheat and operate quietly to not startle your dog are preferable.
Scissors: Rounded-tip scissors are advised for Bichons for safety, especially when trimming around the eyes and ears. It’s also useful to have straight-edged scissors for evening out.
Combs and Brushes: These are vital to comb out the fur before trimming to prevent matting. For Bichon Frises, a comb with long teeth is best.
Mat Removing Knife: If your Bichon has untangleable mats, this tool will help you remove them painlessly.
When selecting tools, always go for high-quality and safe options. If you’re unsure about your choice, seek advice from our consultant at the specialized store in Kryukovshchina.

Health and Specifics of Bichon Frise Skin Care After Trimming
Bichon Frises have a unique fur structure that requires careful attention. After a trim, your furry friend’s skin might become more sensitive, making it important to focus on several key points:
Sun Protection: Bichon’s skin can become more vulnerable to sunlight after a trim. It’s recommended to use special sun protection products for dogs or limit the time spent in direct sunlight.
Skin Hydration: Use special lotions or balms for dogs to prevent skin from drying out. This is especially important during the colder months.
Check for Irritations: Regularly check your Bichon’s skin for any redness, chafing, or other irritations. If you notice anything unusual, seek veterinary care.
Use Natural Shampoos: After a trim, a Bichon’s skin can become more sensitive to chemical components. Choose shampoos with natural ingredients to prevent allergic reactions.
Proper Fur Drying: After bathing, make sure to thoroughly dry your Bichon’s fur, especially in colder weather. Use soft towels and a low-power hairdryer.
Ongoing Fur Care: Even after a trim, regularly brush your Bichon’s fur to prevent matting and maintain a good appearance.
