Do you want a long, fluffy, shaggy doodle?! ๐ถโจ
Or any breed reallyโฆ letโs talk about it! ๐๐ป
A lot of people think that if they want their dog to have a long, full, fluffy coatโฆ that means they take them to see a groomer less and itโs actually the exact opposite!
Ellie (dog below) has only had a full hair cut one time and her hair will still pretty long! We normally do trimming around her eyes, shave her paw paws, sani trim, and I lightly trim around her feet other than that she gets no trimming! She gets a bath, ear cleaning, nail trim, blow dry, lots of brushingโฆ by the time she leaves you can run a comb through her entire body! This is to ensure she is completely matt free! Also, if you arenโt using a metal comb to check your brushing at home, grab one! Itโll be a game changer! โจ
Ellie is on a 3-4 week grooming schedule on top of all the brushing maintenance her owners do at home and still there are sometimes where we have to trim or shave our some matting in some spots!
** because matting starts at the skin and once itโs past a certain point the safest option is to shave under that mat- because when itโs so close to the skin you canโt tell whatโs skin and whatโs a matโฆ using scissors is a huge risk in cutting the dog and we absolutely donโt want that. Safety is priority!
๐ถ So TIP of the day! You want a LONG fluffy dog! See your groomer more, not less! Chances are if you are only visiting a groomer every couple months or 6+ monthsโ your dog will most likely need shaved due to matting.
Think about it, what would you hair look like if you didnโt wash and brush it for months at a time?! โบ๏ธ๐

You will need 2 things: a brush + a metal comb!
1. Grab your brush and brush your dog all over, but make sure you are getting all the way down to the skin.
2. Use the comb and if the comb seems to get stuck any where, grab your birsh and work on that area a little more!
3. Repeat this process. Very easy just time consuming.
Focus on all areas that easily mat: ears, tail, face, legs, bellyโฆ save the back and sides for last those are lower maintenance areas! I like to break it all up into sections, focus on one leg, then move to the next, then the tail, then ears, and so on. This way you are doing small areas at a time and itโs not so overwhelming! You can even break it up over a couple days!
The more you do thisโฆ.the more your dog will enjoy being brushed! When you brush your dog constantly between grooms you are setting them up for success at thier appointment! It allows groomers to focus on your dogs hair cut instead of de-matting (which can take a lot of time and be very uncomfortable for the dog if there is constant pullingโ which is one of the most common reasons dogs end up hate being brushed)โ if you ever have questions or need helping with your specific breed, please donโt hesitate to reach out! Knowledge is power and Iโd love to help any way I can! ๐๐ถ๐พ
