Short-haired dogs do need grooming, but it should be easier than grooming their long-haired counterparts; no mats and tangles, just a lot of loose hair. Sometimes after grooming a short-haired dog, it can look like you have removed enough loose hair to make another dog!
How often do short-haired dogs need to be groomed?
With a short-haired animal, you're probably safe getting them groomed every season, or four times per year. If your pet sheds excessively, ask your groomer if they offer low-shed services such as a “blow-out” or furminating, which can help give your pet a thorough brush-out and get rid of extra fur.
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 can I use on my dog for short hair?
For short-haired dogs, this is generally a dog grooming brush or rubber grooming mitt, plus a bristle brush. First, use the brush or grooming mitt to loosen any dirt or dead undercoat. Always brush in the direction that hairs lie to avoid causing your dog discomfort.
