It depends on your particular dog. Personally, I recommend every 4-6 weeks for most dogs. With long coated breeds or even hair in excess of 1.5 inches you must brush/comb on a regular basis to prevent matting. If your dog has short hair, the nails and ears should be maintained in addition to a regular bathing to make sure healthy skin and coat is maintained. Generally, short-haired pets are groomed every 6-8 weeks.

The Barkley Pet Hotel & Day Spa
Most pet owners confuse ???grooming??? with ???clipping.??? Clipping (which is commonly done to poodles, spaniels, terriers and mixed breed dogs), is only one procedure in the grooming process. Grooming also includes combing and brushing, cutting nails, plucking hair from ears, and parasite control. Although the most obvious result of these procedures is an improved appearance, the major benefits to your pet are increased comfort and social acceptability and perhaps even improved health.

FAQ: How often should my dog get professionally groomed?

Valley View Kennels
It depends. We generally suggest that longer haired dogs (maltese, shih tzu, poodle, etc.) be groomed once every 6-8 weeks, depending on the condition of their coat. The more the owner brushes the dog, the better for their coat. Going to long in-between grooms can lead to skin problems, especially if the dog is bathed and not dried out entirely within a few hours. Bacterial and fungal infections of the skin can start this way, and matting gets tighter on the dog.

Should I bathe my dog before having him groomed?

The Barkley Pet Hotel & Day Spa
One of the worst problems that confront groomers is to work on a dog that has been bathed without being brushed out completely. The result of such a practice is a coat that is so firmly matted that clipping is sometimes the only solution. Ask your groomer if bathing at home prior to grooming is recommended, and always brush your dog properly before bathing.

FAQ: I have an appointment for my dog to get groomed. Can I stay with him while he gets groomed?

Valley View Kennels
We have a policy for owners to NOT be around their dog while being groomed. Dogs tend to act up more when their owner's are present, which stresses them out more, and it takes longer for them to get groomed. We try to avoid stress as much as possible. We are usually pretty quick with scheduled grooms, depending on how many dogs are being groomed and what grooms need to be done. Most dogs are done within two hours. We only hire groomers that are good with the dogs but also do excellent grooms.

Should my dog he groomed even though the weather is cold?

FAQs - Somalis, Abys, Harequin Poodles, Pet Grooming
Yes. It Is not kind to your dog to have a long, matted or dirty coat during the colder months. Your groomer can leave your dogs coat longer "r while removing dirt, fleas and tangles. Professional blow dryers ensure that your dog dries quickly and thoroughly, thus eliminating the chance of your dog becoming chilled. Matted coats hold the water and mud. Body hreat cannot dry their coats quickly keeping you dog cold and wet longer that a groomed out coat would.

I’m only getting my dog groomed, do I need to get a kennel cough vaccine?

Fall Creek Vet::.
Any time your pet will be exposed to other dogs in a confined setting, we do recommend a bordetella (kennel cough) vaccine. This disease is highly contagious, and is spread through the air by infected dogs sneezing and coughing. Exposure occurs in environments where there are other dogs in proximity, such as kennels, dog parks, and at the groomer. Symptoms begin usually 3 to 5 days after exposure, and include a dry, "non-productive" cough. Sometimes the coughing/gagging seems very violent.

Yes, you will need to groom your Yorkie. The puppy cut requires no maintenance on your part. But you will need to brush them daily so they do not become tangled. Depending on how much you are willing to spend on the maintenance of their coat will depend on the cut you choose. I have Yorkies that are very jealous and beg or bump into my leg to get groomed. Do not be fooled they were not always like this some take to it well and others hate it in the beginning.
