Maintenance
It is recommended to brush the coat 3–4 times a week to keep it free from tangles and to manage shedding. Baths should be given every 4–6 weeks with products suitable for the coat type.
Brushing
Due to the double coat, frequent brushing is important to keep the coat healthy and free from knots.
Clipping
It is not recommended to clip the coat short, but it can be beneficial to trim excess fur around the paws and hindquarters for better hygiene.
Special Attention
Check the ears regularly and ensure the skin is kept moisturized to prevent irritation and infections – especially during shedding periods.
Recommended Grooming Visits
Professional baths every 4–6 weeks combined with thorough brushing help remove loose hair and keep the coat in optimal condition.
Brushes for Samoyeds
Samoyeds have a thick double coat that requires frequent brushing to prevent tangles and remove dirt.
It is recommended to use a brush with long pins and a comb that can reach into the undercoat.
The rolling comb is designed with irregular and rotating pins, which provide better glide and make it easier to get through the coat.
During shedding periods, it is important to increase brushing frequency to better control hair loss and ensure the skin can breathe.
Shampoo and Conditioner for Samoyeds
It is recommended to bathe the dog every 4–6 weeks with a shampoo suitable for a thick double coat and therefore economical to use.
Using a moisturizing conditioner can make subsequent brushing easier and add softness to the coat.
It is very important to dry the coat completely – especially the undercoat – to avoid moisture problems and skin irritation.
Clipping a Samoyed
Samoyeds have a very dense double coat with both soft undercoat and longer guard hairs, which protect against both cold and heat. Therefore, the coat should not be clipped short or shaved, as this can damage its natural insulating properties and affect the dog's ability to regulate temperature.
Coat care is instead about thorough brushing and removal of loose undercoat. Light trimming, however, can be beneficial to keep the coat tidy and functional in everyday life – especially around the paws, between the paw pads, and at the hindquarters for better hygiene.
The longer coat areas on the legs, tail, and around the body should be preserved but can be gently shaped with scissors to give a well-groomed and natural look.
General care for Samoyeds
Eyes: Samoyeds can be prone to visible tear stains, as their light coat makes discolouration more noticeable. It is recommended to keep the area around the eyes clean by regularly wiping gently with a damp cloth or a mild eye cleanser. This helps prevent discolouration and irritation and keeps the coat neat and clean.
Ears: Clean ears weekly with a suitable ear cleaner to prevent infections.
Teeth: Regular brushing and the use of chew toys can help maintain good oral hygiene.
Paw pads and nose: It is recommended to keep paws and nose moisturized with conditioning balms – especially during cold or dry periods.

Nail clippers for Samoyeds
Samoyeds are medium to large dogs with strong and thick nails, which require robust nail clippers to be clipped safely and effectively.
A strong nail clipper provides better control and makes it easier to clip the nails in calm, precise steps. This reduces the risk of fraying the nail or hitting the quick.
Choose nail clippers suitable for medium to large breeds, preferably with a solid grip and sharp blades, to ensure optimal control and confidence during clipping.
