The Chinese crested dog comes in two varieties
They come as completely hairless with scant hair on the head, tail and paws, or partially de-coated on the head, neck, tail and paws. They require regular bathing once every seven days and skin care with a suitable cream.

The hairless (HL) variety requires regular bathing once every seven days and skin care with a suitable cream. The skin is best cared for with natural preparations. Natural peeling based on ground black coffee and honey, shampoos containing milk thistle oil, chamomile or nettle extract, calendula skin balm and coconut oil are the right choice for skin care. Due to the partial growth of hair on the back, it is necessary to groom the dog additionally by shaving.
Long-haired (powderpuff) should be bathed with a mild shampoo, and after shampooing apply a conditioner and dry the dog with a hair dryer with moderately warm air while combing with a soft brush. Natural hair care oils are preferred and you will enjoy the softness and shine of the hair.
