🐶 Caring for a Curly Coat 🐶
Each month I am going to do a longer post for my customers on the different breeds and coats and how to care for each coat type!

🐾 A Curly/Wool coat on a dog is quite thick and curly with a lot of volume.
🐾 This particular coat is sometimes known as hypoallergenic as they shed small amounts and slowly making their thick coat a challenge to maintain.
🐾 Examples of curly/wool coated dogs include Poodle, Bichon and Bedlington terrier.
🐾 Dogs with a curly/wool are very high maintenance when it comes to grooming, they require daily brushing to prevent matting in their coat.
🐾 I typically recommend curly/wool coated dogs are groomed professionally every 4 – 6 weeks.
🐾 When brushing your curly/wool coated dogs it’s important to be thorough and I recommend line brushing which includes slowly working your way through the coat to ensure every hair is brushed to prevent matting.
🐾 It’s best using both a slicker brush and comb to go through the coat. Areas where their harness and collar sit are the most prone to matting due to the friction caused but I suggest brushing the entire dog thoroughly every day.
🐾 Curly/wool coated dogs require regular clipping/scissoring of their coat to prevent over growth. This type of coat is very versatile and as long as they are well maintained they can be styled to look as you wish.
Below are some pictures of my gorgeous clients with a curly/wool coat. 🩷🩵

🐾 Puppy Grooms 🐾

It’s been lovely to see so many puppies coming in for there grooms. I recommended puppies come in once they are 12 weeks around 2 to 3 times before they are 6 months old.

All puppies get a bath with shampoo, condition, blueberry facial & blow dry.
Claw Clipping & trimming (if required).
Desensitisation to salon environment and clippers, lots of treats and encouragement.
ONLY £30

These 3 cuties did brilliantly, can’t wait to see them again. 🩷

👋🏼 🌟 🐾 Introduction 🐾 🌟👋🏼
Hi everyone thought I would do an introduction and show my face for all my new followers, customers and those booking in at the new Salon. I’m Kayleigh the owner and only groomer currently for Barking Clean.

I set up Barking Clean in 2019 after getting my L2 City & Guilds grooming qualification in my parents garden and have worked hard to expand to Cirencester after buying my first house and moving to Wroughton with my partner last year.

I’m a 25 year old passionate dog groomer and full time animal lover. I've grown up around animals it runs in the family and we’ve always had pets from hamsters all the way to horses.

I am committed to animal welfare and this goes beyond the brush with your pups, and enjoy all the challenges grooming brings. I pride myself in keeping up to date with new trends and the best products and look forward to getting more qualifications and the prospect of grooming at shows in the future.

At Barking clean your dog will get a 1-1 service with me and I can cater for those dogs who are reactive/ nervous with other dogs and I never use crates. Making sure your dog not only looks great but enjoys the experience.

Belle in the picture has been part of the barking clean family from the start as she is my sisters dog and definitely the family’s fur baby.
