Looking after Dalmatians Coat — should be short, hard, dense, fine, sleek and glossy in appearance. Equipment needed — nail clippers, bristle brush, hound glove, chamois leather. Grooming Procedure: One of the joys of a smooth coasted breed is the ease of grooming. With Dalmatians, maintenance grooming is the key. A consensus of opinion regarding grooming is as follows: 1. Good nutrition with an emphasis on oils and saturated fats for a bright and shiny coat. 2. Adequate exercise for the development of good muscle tone. 3. Regular brushing with a rubber curvy comb or hound glove. 4. Bathe as necessary with a mild shampoo and a non-toxic bluing. Because the Dalmatian is pink — skinned, it lacks the overall protective pigment; the skin reacts frequently to harsh shampoos, shampoos with additives and detergents. Non-toxic bluing whitens the coat without irritating the skin. 5. Nail clipping becomes difficult when the nails are black. A pen-light may be used to locate the quick before cutting. Short even nails help to keep the feel tight and encourage natural trotting ability. 6. Clipping excess facial hairs & whiskers gives the face a clean chiselled appearance.
