Every dog requires a degree of time and care in order to help keep him looking and feeling his best. Basic grooming, bathing, nail trimming, and teeth cleaning to name a few things. Some dog breeds require much more time and work ass their coats may require special care, etc. However, not every dog requires regular professional attention or an inordinate amount of brushing to keep its hair in check.
Dogs with flat-faces or with wrinkles require special facial care. Some pups also shed a lot which requires brushing every single day, sometimes twice a day.
If you are looking for what many people consider a “wash-and-wear” dog breed, check out the list of pups below that we came up with. These dogs are generally very easy to maintain and make great family pets.
First is the Basenji. These pups are fairly simple to maintain and not known to have a “dog smell” like many other breeds. They also do not bark a lot which is a big plus. A bath every few weeks and some basic care and this pup is ready to go!
The Vizsla is a very easy to care for pooch that doesn’t take a lot of time to clean up. Routine bathing and selfcare is quick and easy. The Vizsla is a very active dog and may require an extra bath or two if playing outside a lot.
The Whippet is a clean and tidy pup that also does not take a lot of time to get ready. These pups generally carry little to no scent and require the basics. Another wash and wear pup!
