How Often Should You Groom Your Dog?
How coat type, lifestyle and health affect a sensible grooming routine.
There is no single grooming schedule that fits every dog. Coat type, activity level, age and health all influence how often grooming is needed.
Short coats
Many short-coated dogs benefit from regular brushing to remove loose hair and debris.
Long and curly coats
These coats often need more frequent brushing to prevent tangles and mats.
Check ears, paws and nails
Routine grooming is a good opportunity to inspect paws, nails and visible parts of the ears for changes.
Bathing
Use a shampoo formulated for dogs and avoid unnecessary over-bathing.
If your dog develops persistent itching, hair loss, redness, odour or skin lesions, consult a veterinarian.
Better choices start with better advice.
