- 1). Feed the Doberman food appropriate for its age whether puppy, adult or senior. Choose high-quality dog food that has the vitamins and nutrients a dog needs for healthy skin. Dog food specifically for Dobermans or organic dog food ares examples of high-quality dog foods.
- 2). Give the Doberman a fatty acid supplement regularly. Just as humans need omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, so do dogs. A chewable tablet helps to keep the Doberman's coat soft and shiny and the skin healthy inside and out. This helps to cut down on rashes and itchiness.
- 3). Brush the Doberman's coat a few times each week. This helps to maintain and clean the coat. It also stimulates the production of natural oils which lubricate the skin and keep it soft.
- 4). Bathe the Doberman every few months. Wash the dog in a bathtub using dog shampoo or shampoo for people. Scrub the shampoo into the dog's coat and skin. Rinse thoroughly to remove all traces of the shampoo.
- 5). Rub the Doberman down with a dry, clean towel. The Doberman's coat air-dries very quickly and will be completely dry in about one hour.
