“Ah, the Affenpinscher — a tiny comedian with the face of a monkey and the heart of a lion! Their scruffy charm may appear delightfully unbothered, but make no mistake: maintaining that tousled elegance requires a discerning eye and a devoted brush.” — Lola
At Lola’s, we are on a mission to bring joy to pups and their humans.
For the love of gleam, here are some tips from Lola herself to keep your Affenpinscher dapper & delightfully disheveled between grooms.
At-Home Grooming Routine
Brushing: Brush 2–3 times per week using a slicker brush and metal comb to keep their coat free of mats — especially around the beard, chest, and legs.
Bathing: Every 4–6 weeks with a gentle shampoo to preserve their natural scruff.
Ear and Eye Care: Check for build-up and overgrown ear canals weekly.
Paw & Nail Care: Trim nails every 2–3 weeks, and check paw pads for debris or matting.
Beard Care: Comb through and wipe the beard to clean out any food after meals.
Teeth: Brush with dog-safe toothpaste 3 times/week minimum.
When to call Lola’s Pet Salon
When their charming scruff starts veering into “wild forest gremlin” territory.
When the beard tangles, or the coat feels too soft or fluffy.
When it’s time for a proper hand-scissored tidy-up — or a calming, silent ultrasonic dental clean.
