The owner of this dog had better be an idle old man, because it needs more time to take care of it, such as bathing, grooming, trimming toes and claws, removing dirt and so on. When feeding food, you should master the weight. If you supply too much food, it will become fat, stupid and lose its advantage of being lively and flexible. In life, we can neither make them arrogant nor too indulgent, otherwise, we will form the bad habit of refusing to obey the master's orders. Greenland dogs are active.

In the hot season, besides bathing the dog, we should pay more attention to the cleanliness of the dog's ears. Before taking a wet bath, we should first remove the earwax, and then wet the dirt around the ear canal and ears with sterile absorbent cotton. However, it should be noted that cotton balls can't carry water, so as to prevent water from staying in the ears. Before each bath, plug the dog's ear canal with cotton balls to prevent water from entering. Because this kind of dog is prone to otitis media in summer.
