Dogs with long, thick fur may need to be groomed every 4-6 weeks, while dogs with short or fine hair may only need to go every 8-12 weeks. It's important to keep up with your dog's grooming program as if left too long, their hair may become matted and cause irritation or infection and need to be shaven.

Pet grooming will involve shaving, clipping, or trimming the coat when necessary. Some dog breeds require more trimming than others. Depending on the breed, the groomer will use special scissors and clippers to remove all unwanted hairs. Professional groomers have extensive knowledge about different dog breeds.

Brush, bathe and thoroughly dry your dog. Using blunt ended (round tip) shears or small clippers with guide combs, trim hair that's covering the eyes, long hair covering private parts and hair between dogs' paw pads, if needed. A number 10 blade may work best in delicate areas.

Dog grooming is the practice of cleaning, styling, and otherwise looking after a dog. Grooming is an essential part of owning a dog as it helps to keep them clean and healthy.
