Every dog is unique and so are their grooming needs. How often they need their hair brushed, trimmed, and washed will depend on the length, texture, and density of your dog's coat. Though grooming needs can vary within breeds, there are some reliable standards for different types of dog hair.
Do all dogs need to be groomed?
It's a common misconception that only dogs with a longer coat, or show dogs need to be professionally groomed. This couldn't be farther from the truth. In fact, each and every dog should get groomed by a professional groomer every 4-6 weeks. This will not only help them look their best, but also to feel their best.
What happens if you don't groom your dog?
If you don't groom your dog, dead skin and dirt are going to pile up on their coat. When you brush your dog, you're not only helping keep their coat healthy and glossy, you're also helping remove dead skin and dirt as well as dead fur and dandruff.
What dogs should not be groomed?
The “no shave” rule doesn't just apply to super-furry northern breeds like Samoyeds, Huskies or Malamutes, but to other double-coated breeds as well. Herding breeds like Aussie Shepherds, Border Collies and Shelties are double-coated. So are Golden Retrievers, Newfoundlands, Bernese Mountain Dogs and many more.
Is pet grooming necessary?
Pet grooming is important for the whole family as well. You do not want your dirty and smelly pet jumping on your couch or clean bedsheets. With proper pet grooming, you will get rid of shedding, fleas, ticks, and various health conditions. Proper grooming is more than just having a cute pet.
