Frequently Asked Questions
Do white dogs require special grooming to keep their coat looking clean?
White-coated dogs do show dirt more visibly and may develop tear staining (reddish-brown stains under eyes). Regular bathing with whitening shampoo (purple/blue tinted), tear stain wipes for under-eye areas, and keeping the dog off mud/grass when wet helps maintain that bright white coat. Some breeds (Samoyeds, Pyrenees) have self-cleaning coats that shed dirt when dry.
