American Eskimo Breed Information and Pictures
Grooming
That iconic, fluffy white coat needs proper TLC to look its best. Brush their fur at least a few times per week to keep the fur from tangling or matting and to help control shedding. Despite your best efforts, expect to find quite a few dog hairs on your clothes and furniture when you own an Eskie. Give the dog a bath about once every six weeks, or more frequently if you see dirt or mud. With any dog, you should also keep up on ear cleaning and teeth brushing to reduce risk for ear infections and to slow down dental disease.
Diet and nutrition
Because of their thick coats, it’s hard to tell when American Eskimo dogs begin putting on too much weight. Make sure to feel their bodies and talk with your vet if you are concerned about your pup gaining too much weight. And, always consult with your veterinarian to determine the best food portions and nutritional needs for your dog. Feeding amounts will vary based on the size of the dog, body condition, and type of food. Toy and miniature versions of this breed will need to eat three times daily to reduce risk for hypoglycemia
