FAQ

Grooming Frequency Questions

How often should my dog be professionally groomed?
Most dogs benefit from professional grooming every 4–12 weeks. Curly and long coats often need visits every 4–6 weeks; short double coats may go 8–12 weeks with de-shedding between appointments.
Which breeds need grooming every 4 to 6 weeks?
Poodles, Doodles, Havanese, Maltese, Shih Tzu, Yorkies, and many spaniels with feathering usually need grooming every 4–6 weeks when kept in a longer coat style.
Do double-coated dogs need haircuts?
Breeds like Golden Retrievers, Huskies, and German Shepherds typically need bath, blowout, and de-shedding—not full haircuts. Shaving a double coat is usually avoided unless medically necessary.
How often should wire-coated terriers be hand stripped?
Wire coats may be hand stripped every 8–12 weeks when appropriate, or clipped on a similar schedule. Happy Tails can review coat condition and your goals at a consultation.
Can Happy Tails recommend a schedule for my dog?
Yes—call 954-663-5249 or book online. We will assess coat type, matting, and lifestyle, then suggest professional and at-home brushing intervals.
