When choosing a dog you may not consider straight away it’s grooming requirements, but before long your cockerpoo or siberian husky is going to need a lot of taking care of. Not only is the coat going to need a lot of brushing but each individual breed has different requirements to keep the coat healthy. From hand stripping to full clips a dog groomer will look after your dogs coat. I normally recommend that your dog is groomed every 4-6weeks to maintain a healthy coat. Regular nail trims are also very important unless your dog is able to wear them down naturally. If the dog is forced to walk on untrimmed nails this can lead to joint issues and deformaties of the foot. Dogs with a heavy coat that shed will need regular brushing to remove the dead coat so that thier skin can breathe. Whilst dogs that do not shed their coat can very quickly become matted if not combed through regularly.
