The right grooming schedule depends on coat type, lifestyle, and season. Here is a quick guide to get you started.
Short coats
Every 6 to 8 weeks for a bath, nails, and ears. Brushing once a week at home keeps shedding under control.
Double coats
Every 4 to 6 weeks, especially in spring and fall when undercoats blow out.
Curly and wool coats
Every 3 to 5 weeks. Skipping appointments quickly leads to matting close to the skin.
