Grooming isn’t just about making your dog look cute (although that’s a nice bonus). It’s an essential part of their overall health and well-being. From reducing shedding to preventing infections, regular grooming helps keep your pup happy, comfortable, and in top shape.
And here’s the thing—every dog, regardless of breed, benefits from grooming. Whether you have a fluffy Pomeranian, a curly-haired Poodle, or a Labrador, each breed has unique grooming needs that should be met regularly.
Let’s dive into why grooming is so important and what different types of coats require! You’ll find tips below on when to schedule a visit to one of our groomers.
Prevents matting & skin issues – Tangles and mats don’t just look bad; they can cause pain and irritation if left untreated.
Reduces shedding & allergens – Brushing removes loose fur and dander, keeping your home cleaner and reducing allergens.
Early detection of health problems – Grooming sessions allow you to check for lumps, or skin issues that might need veterinary attention.
Keeps ears, eyes & nails in check – Overgrown nails can cause walking issues, and unclean ears can lead to infections. A full grooming session ensures your dog stays healthy from head to tail.
Odor control & comfort – Let’s be honest—no one likes a stinky dog. Regular baths and proper coat care help keep your pup fresh and comfortable.
Every dog’s coat is different, and that means their grooming routine should be too! Here’s a breakdown of what different coat types require:
Low maintenance breeds.
Bathing every 6-8 weeks helps keep their coat fresh and healthy.
Nail trimming and ear cleaning are still essential to prevent discomfort and infections.
These breeds require frequent brushing (daily or every other day) to prevent mats.
Professional grooming is recommended every 4-6 weeks to maintain their shape and hygiene.
Special care should be given to their eyes and ears, as they are more prone to buildup and infections.
These breeds shed heavily, so regular brushing (2-3 times a week) is a must!
Avoid shaving them—double coats help regulate temperature in both summer and winter.
Seasonal grooming helps control shedding and maintain coat health.
Daily brushing is often needed to prevent tangles and keep the coat shiny.
Professional grooming is essential every 4-8 weeks to maintain their style and hygiene.
Eye and face trimming helps prevent vision obstruction and irritation.
These coats don’t shed much, but they require hand-stripping to keep them tidy.
Professional grooming every 6-8 weeks helps maintain texture and coat quality.
Regular ear and beard cleaning prevents bacterial buildup.
Minimal brushing, but their skin needs extra care—moisturizing and sun protection are key!
Regular ear and paw pad cleaning help avoid infections.
Since they don’t have a thick coat, they may need sweaters or coats in cold weather.
Every dog is different, but here’s a general guide:
Bathing – Every 4-6 weeks, depending on the breed and lifestyle. (Too often can strip natural oils!)
Haircuts – Every 4-8 weeks for long-haired and curly breeds.
Brushing – Daily for long-haired breeds, 2-3 times a week for most others.
Nail trimming – Every 3-4 weeks to prevent discomfort and posture issues.
Ear cleaning – Monthly or as needed, especially for floppy-eared breeds.
