The Shiba Inu has a life expectancy of around 12 to 15 years if you keep them humanely. In addition to a balanced diet and plenty of exercises, this also includes grooming:
Its short, hard coat consists of a straight topcoat and a fine undercoat. You should brush it every now and then. This is especially true when the Shiba Inus is shedding their fur when the shedding is particularly severe. An advantage for his human family: The hair has no barbs, so it can be easily sucked off pieces of furniture.
You don’t have to bathe him regularly unless his fur is covered in mud or other dirt. Usually, he takes care of his own cleanliness. The dog breed is considered very clean.
The Shiba Inu’s dense coat is weatherproof and doesn’t smell bad, even when wet. The thick undercoat protects the four-legged friend from the cold but makes him sweat quickly on hot days. You should therefore trim the fur regularly in summer.
