 The American Kennel Club recommends grooming your dog once a month for most breeds, though this can vary depending on the specific breed. Regular grooming helps prevent matting and tangles. If mats are left unattended, they can worsen quickly, leading to moisture buildup that may cause skin irritation or infections. Therefore, grooming is a preventative measure that should not be overlooked. It’s important to remember that grooming isn’t a “one-size-fits-all” service; some dogs may require more frequent maintenance than others. 

Doberman Pinscher, Boston Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, etc.

(6-8 Weeks)

 Short-haired dogs typically don’t need frequent clipping or trimming. They usually just require regular washes every 6-8 weeks and occasional light brushing. Contrary to common belief, short-haired dogs do shed, and some may shed more than those with longer hair. While nothing can completely eliminate shedding, there are de-shedding therapies available that can significantly reduce the amount of fur shed. 

Husky, Great Pyrenese, Golden Retriever, Havanese, Pomeranians, etc.

(4-6 Weeks)

 The length and texture of coats can differ among double-coated breeds, but all of them require regular brushing down to the skin at least 1-3 times a week. We do not recommend clipping the coat, as it can lead to alopecia and interfere with the undercoat's important role in regulating body temperature. However, we suggest trimming around the face, ears, sanitary areas, and paw pads every 4-6 weeks. If the body hair becomes too long, a light trim is safe for these breeds. 

Poodle, Bichon Frise, Spaniels, etc

(4 Weeks)

 We recommend brushing these puppies' coats at least three times a week, using a slicker brush and working from the skin out. For stubborn mats, a specialized shampoo can be helpful. Monthly bathing and grooming are advisable for optimal maintenance. To prevent the need for shaving these breeds completely, it’s important to have their coats groomed regularly, so visiting a professional groomer at least once a month is recommended. 

Fox Terrier, Airedale, Brussels Griffon, etc

(6-8 Weeks)

 Terrier breeds with wire coats are rough and bristly. While they don’t shed, dead hair can mat close to the skin, so they should be brushed from the skin to the tips. Bathe them every one to two months and brush at least 1-3 times a week. Light trims around the face, ears, paws, and sanitary areas should be done every 6-8 weeks.
 

Shih Tzu, Maltese, Afghan Hound, etc

(4-6 Weeks)

  This group of dogs features breeds that maintain a long, straight coat that flows to the floor in the show ring. Long-coated dogs need daily brushing and thorough combing using a technique called line brushing to keep the coat mat-free by reaching down to the skin.   Typically, pet owners find it impractical to maintain these dogs in "show coat" condition due to the maintenance required, so they often get clipped into a style that suits their lifestyle. However, daily upkeep at home is still essential. Brushing to the skin with a brush and comb 1-3 times a week is important to prevent matting, and a visit to the groomer should occur every 4-6 weeks.
