The Akita is a double-coated breed, which means the dog has an undercoat that is plush, thick and reasonable short. Its out coat, sometimes called a guard coat, is sometimes longer on the withers and the tail.

Did you know that your dog’s coat is a direct reflection of his or her diet? If your dog has a dietary imbalance, it will be readily seen by the condition of their coat. Unhealthy skin or skin that is too dry or oily can often be remedied by changing the diet.

Dogs can be very protective of their paws, even with their owners. That can make it difficult to trim nails without hurting the dog or cutting into the quick. Professional groomers know how to restrain dogs and quickly cut claws so that there is no pain and no blood is spilled.
