Grooming Instructions

Proper grooming is important for your Akita. Below are the steps to brush your dog:

Recommended Brushes:

Bristle brush or undercoat rake

Brushing Instructions:

Use a bristle brush to remove loose fur and a undercoat rake to manage their thick double coat. Regular brushing helps reduce shedding and maintain coat quality.

Akitas have a dense double coat and typically shed seasonally. Brushing a few times a week is recommended, especially during heavy shedding periods.
