How often should I groom my dog?
Coat type decides your schedule, at home and at the salon.

Grooming is not vanity, it is skin health.
By coat type
- Smooth coats: a weekly rubber brush, salon rarely needed
- Double coats: brush 2 to 3 times a week, more when moulting. Never shave them
- Curly and wool coats: brush daily to the skin, salon every 6 to 8 weeks
- Wire coats: hand strip every few months
- Long silky coats: daily combing, salon every 4 to 6 weeks
Matting
Matts tighten and pull on skin, trap moisture and hide sores. If a matt does not lift away from the skin with a comb, it needs a groomer, not scissors at home.
Between salon visits
Check ears, trim nails every few weeks, and brush teeth daily if you can.
