Can you groom a dog too much?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Even dogs who require frequent at-home groomings for coat maintenance still usually only need to be brushed a few times each week. You cannot overbrush your dog, but you should be mindful of the types of grooming tools you're using and watch out for signs of skin irritation such as redness or dryness.


How often should you full groom your dog?

For grooming, we recommend bathing and grooming once a month. It's especially important for breeds with curly or wavy hair that their coats are routinely maintained so they won't have to be shaved bald. We recommend seeing a professional groomer at least once a month.

Is it OK to brush dog everyday?

Regular brushing removes dead hair, distributes natural oils for a clean and healthy coat, stimulates the surface of the skin, gets rid of dead and dry skin, and helps you become familiar with your dog's body. You should brush your dog every couple of days no matter the length of his coat.

How many times a week should I brush my dog's hair?

Smooth, short-coated dogs can generally be brushed once every few weeks to remove loose hair. While short, dense-furred dogs should usually be brushed once a week. Long-coated or double-coated dogs must be brushed weekly to prevent mats and to remove tangles.
