How Often Should I Get My Pet Groomed?

Here is a handy chart we compiled for you to determine how often you should have your pet groomed, depending on it’s breed  & hair style (clip). This will keep your pet looking good and also healthy & comfortable. Keep in mind that toenails, ear cleaning and anal glands (for little dogs) need to be done routinely.

If your dog is a mixed breed, for example, a Maltipoo or Cockapoo, simply follow the chart to the closest coat type your dog has.

Please note that these are guidelines, but due to different types of coat, grooming styles & dog activity, more frequent grooming may be required.
