A simple guide to grooming frequency based on coat type and lifestyle.

Representative image. Actual provider, vehicle, equipment, services, and appearance may vary.

Short coats

Short-coated dogs may need less frequent full grooming but still benefit from routine bathing, brushing, and nail care.

Long or curly coats

Long-haired and curly-coated dogs often need more frequent brushing and trimming to stay comfortable and reduce matting.

Lifestyle matters

Outdoor activity, swimming, shedding, allergies, and coat condition can all change the ideal schedule.

Ask for a maintenance plan

A groomer can recommend a schedule based on your dog’s individual coat and lifestyle.
