How often to groom, by coat type
Short, long, double and curly coats each need their own rhythm.
By Boss · Dog groomer
There's no single rule — the gap depends on the coat and how much brushing happens at home.
Short coats: 4–6 weeks
A bath and nail trim is usually enough.
Double coats: 6–8 weeks, plus shedding season
De-shed every visit — never shave.
Long & curly: bath every 2–3 weeks, cut every 4–8
These coats tangle fast — more frequent, shorter visits work best.
