There is no single answer to how often a dog should be groomed — it depends on coat type, lifestyle and the individual dog. Here is a general guide to help you plan.
A guide by coat type
- Double coats (e.g. many spitz breeds): every 8–12 weeks, plus regular de-shedding.
- Curly and wool coats (e.g. poodle types): every 4–6 weeks to prevent matting.
- Silky and long coats: every 4–8 weeks.
- Short, smooth coats: a few times a year, plus baths as needed.
Between appointments
Regular brushing at home keeps coats healthy and makes professional grooms easier and less stressful for your dog.
