As you can see, the Lhasa Apso has a medium to long coat that can get out of control if you don’t groom them often.  They need to be brushed at least once a week and bathed a few times a month.  Their coat is long and heavy and can mat easily if not properly cared for.

The areas that are most important to trim are around the eyes, ears, paws and hind side.  I suggest taking them to a professional groomer to keep them looking their best.  Keeping up on their grooming will keep them from getting skin problems.  Here is a picture of a Lhasa Apso that has been properly groomed:

They are beautiful dogs when they are groomed and all cleaned up! Sometimes we take ours to the dog park with our Golden Retrievers, it’s good to watch them interact with other puppies.
