Things To Know Before You Give Your American Bully a Haircut<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here are 5 things to know if you\u2019re considering giving your American Bully a haircut:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. American Bullies Have Short Coats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When giving a haircut, remember not to crop too close. The coat protects your dog and keeps it warm in cold weather. If you\u2019ve given it a haircut, invest in a quality doggie sweater for winter.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
