As a pet groomer, the question we get asked the most is how often grooming is required for pets. While the frequency depends on several factors — the type of pet, the breed, and their coat length and type — here are some general guidelines.
Dogs
The frequency of grooming for dogs varies depending on the breed and the length of their coat. Short-haired breeds may only need to be groomed once every few months, while long-haired breeds may need to be groomed every 4 to 8 weeks. Some dogs, especially those with thick or matted coats, may need to be groomed more often.
The regularity of grooming also depends on the living conditions of the dog. For example, a dog that lives outdoors would need a bath more often than a dog that stays indoors.
Cats
Cats are generally self-grooming creatures, but they may still need occasional grooming — especially if they have long hair or are prone to matting. Long-haired cats should be groomed at least once a month, while short-haired cats may only need occasional grooming.
It's important to note that regular grooming isn't only about keeping your pet looking good — it also helps keep them healthy by removing mats, tangles and dirt from their coat and skin. It's highly recommended that you start taking them to your groomer as puppies, so they get accustomed to the whole grooming process.
