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.
How often should you have your dog groomed?
A short cut can last a dog two to three months, but if your groomer leaves more than an inch of fur on your dog at a cut, you should get your dog groomed every four to six weeks to prevent matting.
Can you groom a dog 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.
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.
