Between 2 weeks and once a month.

The easiest coat to maintain. Bull Dogs, Frenchies, Pugs and Staffordshire Bull Terriers are just some of the examples of dogs with a shorter coat.

The key here is occasional but regular bathing with quality shampoos and a professional brush to deshed of all that dead hair. We advise a trip to Love My Hound every two weeks but at least once a month. .

A common problem with short haired breeds is that they suffer from Itchy and Dry Skin. Washing your dog with Quality shampoos and Conditioners such as 'Wild Wash' aren't just great for a dogs coat but they are also fantastic for cleaning up all that bacteria from their skin and allowing them to smell great again.

6 weeks to 8 Weeks

4 weeks to 6 Weeks

Here we have all the poodle mixes, Cockapoos, Labradoodles, Cavapoos.

Any hair longer than 1/2 Inch needs to be brushed through at least 4 times a week and hair longer than an inch should be brushed through every day.

These breeds are the most likely to mat. Always remember, severe matting can cause many serious complications, so with these breeds it is imperative to have a planned grooming schedule.

The majority of breeds with this hair type should be at the groomers every 4 to 6 weeks, with only exceptionally short hair cuts being able to leave it to 8 weeks until they return.

At Love My Hound we have many poodle mix clients on regular maintenance grooms every 3 weeks for a wash, condition, brush through and light trimming work, returning in another 3 weeks to have The Ultimate Full Groom within which we style their full body haircut.

Short - Full De-Shed every 3 months ,
Additional Wash every 4 to 6 weeks
Medium/Long - Full Groom every 7 to 8 weeks.

Double-Coated dogs have a water repellent top coat and a soft warm undercoat.

Labradores or Akitas are among those who have short double-coats. They sport a straight top coat up to an inch long with a thick downy undercoat.These dogs are seasonal shedders who should visit the groomers at least 4 times a year to de-shed all that dead hair and liven up that coat. In addition these dogs benefit from a Luxury Wash every 3 to four weeks to freshen up the coat and to help wash bacteria from the coat that leads to bad smells.

Golden Retrievers and German Shepherds are examples of dogs with a medium/long double coats that often can become tangled and matted. With a coat length of up to 2.5 inches these dogs require regular brushing and de-shedding. Most have long feathers on their feet, legs, bellies, bottoms and ears that will require trimming work to bring them back into perfect shape. Here a groom every 7 to 8 weeks would be in good order.
