When should you start brushing your puppy's hair?

We recommend starting at 12-weeks of age. The very first grooming appointment is an introduction to the puppy and the owner to the world of grooming.

How often should I brush my puppy's fur?

You should brush your dog every couple of days no matter the length of his coat. Sometimes your brushing can have a specific purpose, such as removing hair mats or helping your dog shed his seasonal coat, but most often you'll be doing general-purpose brushing or combing.

Can you brush your puppy everyday?

Regardless of hair type, you can brush your dog daily—especially if it enjoys it. Regular brushing will keep the coat shiny and healthy. More frequent brushing during the shedding season can help prevent hair build-up.

Can you brush a puppy too much?

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.
