Getting your dog groomed professionally is important for their hygiene and health. The biggest question is how often you should do this. It can be different for every dog depending on their physical attributes.
Short-Haired Dogs
Short-haired dogs don’t need to be groomed too often. Occasional baths will get them clean and help them stay clean because of the short hair. If they shed often, you can always get advice from a professional groomer like D Tails Grooming on brushing and what to use.
If they are a double-coated dog, it’s recommended to get them groomed four times a year to get the undercoat that is dead groomed and cleared out. This will help with a shedding situation.
Long-Haired Dogs
Long-haired dogs tend to shed seasonally. The long hairs on other parts of their body might need to be groomed more often. Matting happens with their hair, which means you should probably head to a groomer to get these areas trimmed. This is for double-coated long hair.
Thicker undercoated dogs like Newfoundlands have coats that need to be groomed seasonally. They can have matting that needs to be shaved out, but it’s important to go to a groomer to get this done properly. Grooming needs to be done every three months.
There are more types of dogs that require different grooming techniques and schedules. It’s important to contact a professional groomer like D Tails Grooming for more information on your dog breed’s grooming recommendations.
