How often the dog should be groomed depends on a number of factors such as breed, brushing and washing routines, length of coat/hair, general health and external environmental influences. Certain breeds also generally need more care than others. Take a look below at our breed-specific grooming guide for an indication of when and how often your dog needs a trip to the salon:

- BREEDS WITH OVERCOAT AND UNDERCOAT
Ex: Golden Retriever, Border Collie, German Shepard, Husky
- These breeds require a lot of maintenance. In general, they should be brushed every other day to prevent accumulation of dead undercoat and tangles with undercoat comb and carding . Bathed only when necessary (When the dog is visibly dirty). Dry gently with a towel, avoid violent, circular movements that can form tangles and piles.

- BREEDS WITH LONG, SMOOTH FUR/HAIR
Shihtzu, Lhasa Apso, Tibetan Terrier, Schnauzer, Spaniel, English Sheepdog

- BREEDS WITH SHORT, SMOOTH COATS
Jack Russel, Staffordshire Bull terrier, French Bulldog, Pug

Should be brushed weekly with a rubber brush and card, or somewhat more frequently, if it is necessary to remove loose hair. Bathed only when necessary (When the dog is visibly dirty). Dry gently with a towel.
