A mixed-breed dog can inherit a coat similar to one parent breed or one that is a combination of both of them. Should a Cane Corso Mix inherit a Cane Corso coat, it will be a short double coat that sheds a little year-round and a lot during seasonal changes. Weekly brushing, with daily brushing during seasonal shedding, and a bath as needed is usually enough to keep a Cane Corso coat looking great.
Regardless of coat type, you will also need to care for your Cane Corso Mix’s nails, ears, and teeth. Monthly nail trims are usually enough to keep nails from growing too long. But, you may need to cut your dog’s nails more often if they grow quickly or don’t wear down as much naturally.
You also want to check your dog’s ears weekly and carefully clean them as needed. Cleaning your dog’s ears when they need it and keeping an eye on things can help prevent ear infections. Plus, if anything is happening, you can often catch it early and get to the vet before it becomes a bigger issue.
Gum disease in dogs is serious. And, unfortunately, due to a lack of good dental care, it’s one of the most common health issues in dogs. But, it doesn’t have to be a problem for your Cane Corso Mix. By practicing good dental care for dogs, like brushing teeth or using an enzyme toothpaste every day, you can help prevent painful dental diseases and further complications from them later in life.
