Do I need to take my dog to the groomer?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Shorter, finer hair requires much less maintenance than long, thick fur. Most owners of cats or dogs with longer fur opt to take their pet to the groomers once every 4-6 weeks, while shorter-haired breeds may only visit every 8-12 weeks.


What happens if you don't take your dog to the groomer?

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.

Should I take my dog to the groomer or do it myself?

Call or schedule an appointment with your veterinarian. Do not try to clip or shave your dog's hair by yourself without proper training. Grooming professionals have the tools and knowledge to safely groom sensitive areas. In addition, they know the grooming needs of your breed.

How often should a dog be professionally groomed?

They should be professionally groomed every four to six weeks and brushed at least twice a week, at minimum.
