Frequency of Grooming

How often should my pet be groomed?

The old wives’ tale that says a dog can only be bathed every six months is untrue. If your dog is being bathed with a professional product made for pets and pH balanced for a dog’s skin, he can and should be bathed at least once a month. Some pets come in for a wash every week to keep them brushed and smelling great. Please see our Services Offered page to determine if your pet needs a full styling (haircut) or just a brush out and bath.

The following chart will help you in determining the grooming needs of each breed. If your dog is a mixed breed or if you have a breed not listed, choose the breed that your dog most resembles.
