We recommend a high-quality dog food that is specifically formulated for small breeds. We provide detailed feeding instructions and recommendations when you take your puppy home.
How much exercise do Griffons need?
Griffons are active dogs that enjoy daily walks and playtime. However, they are also adaptable and can do well in smaller living spaces as long as they receive regular mental and physical stimulation.
What grooming is required for Griffons?
Grooming needs vary depending on whether your Griffon has a smooth or rough coat. Regular brushing is essential, and rough-coated Griffons may need occasional trimming.

Griffons are generally healthy dogs, but like all breeds, they can be prone to certain health conditions such as hip dysplasia, patellar luxation, and respiratory issues. Regular vet check-ups are essential to maintaining their health.
How often should I take my Griffon to the vet?
We recommend regular vet visits, at least once a year for a health check-up and vaccinations. Puppies may require more frequent visits during their first year.
