How Often Should You Groom Your Dog?

Coat Type Determines Frequency

There is no universal grooming schedule. Your dogs coat type, activity level, and health determine the schedule.

Brush once weekly with a rubber curry brush. Moderate year-round shedding.

Brush 2-3 times weekly with an undercoat rake. Daily during seasonal shedding.

Brush daily with a pin brush and metal comb from skin to tip.

Brush 2-3 times weekly. Professional clipping every 6-8 weeks.

More frequent if active outdoors or with skin conditions. Over-bathing causes dry skin.

Clicking on floors means nails are too long.

Clean as needed. Floppy-eared breeds every 1-2 weeks.

Daily is ideal. Pair with dental chews and annual vet cleanings.
