How to Groom an Akita Inu at Home

“Ah, the Akita Inu — loyal, noble, and cloaked in a double coat as grand as a snow-capped mountain. But do not be fooled by their stoic presence — their coat demands care, lest it overwhelm your home in a blizzard of fluff.” — 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 Akita Inu majestic & magnificent between grooms.

At-Home Grooming Routine

Brushing:
• Daily with a slicker brush and a metal comb.
• During shedding season, gently with an undercoat rake.
Bathing: Every 8–10 weeks with a mild, shedding-control shampoo. Their coat is self-cleaning, so no need to overdo it.
Ear and Eye Care: Check for and clean build-up weekly.
Paw & Nail Care: Trim nails every 2–3 weeks, and check between toes for trapped debris after walks.
Teeth: Brush with a dog-safe toothpaste 3 times/week minimum.

When to call Lola’s Pet Salon
