With summer coming, I want to put out some information regarding grooming and your double coated dogs. I’ve gotten many requests to shave them or cut them down fairly far and I think it is important to understand why groomers will either deny that request or talk owners out of it.

Double coated breeds include:
Husky, Chow Chow, Pomeranians, Golden Retriever, Labrador Retriever, Newfoundland, Great Pyrenees, Corgi, Border Collies, Collies, German Shepherd, Australian shepherd, Alaskan malamute, Saint Bernard, & Havanese ect.

After being shaved, there is only a 50% chance your dogs double coat will recover over a significant amount of time

Myth: Shaving a double coated dog keeps them cooler

Truth: Shaving them destroys the natural airflow circulation created between the space between the undercoat and the guard coat

Instead: Get a de-shedding treatment! This helps get a lot of the downey undercoat; cooling and flattening the coat. A slight trim to shape up the coat ( tail, feet, feathering) along with a deshed will lighten the coat and help manage the amount of fur while keeping the coat healthy

More reasons to not shave your double coated dog:

1. It can lead to a kind of alopecia (patchy hair loss), which may lead to permanent bald spots or a change in hair texture.

2. They still shed! Only the hairs are tiny now

3. Your dog is now at risk of sunburn.

4. It destroys the coat’s natural ability to regulate dogs body temperature.

5. Your dogs double coat is more likely to mat as it regrows.

The only reason to shave a double coated dog is if the coat is pelted. This is severe matting that is close to the skin that cannot be brushed out (this is painful to the dog) and is restricting airflow to the skin. Pelted fur leads to yeast infections, hematomas, f***l matting, urine burns, fleas, and irritated skin.
Please keep in mind, there are also medical conditions that affect your dogs coat. I will always let the owners know if I may suspect something is going on medically and will recommend a visit with your veterinarian.

Before and after of Calvin 🌞

With special attention to the ears weekly. Cockers are a sporting breed and are bred to flush game in the field and may need to be bathed as often as weekly or bi-weekly to keep them in good shape🐾

Don’t forget to brush your pet out 2 to 3 times a week🙂Never brush a dry coat, always lightly mist with a hydrating spray🐾Even if your pet is kept in a shorter trim, weekly brush outs are still preferred🙌

Just a friendly reminder on why your dog's haircut 💈 costs more than yours ...

1. You don't bite your stylist 😈
2. Your stylist doesn't squeeze your bu****le 💩
3. Your whole body doesn't get washed and blow dried and brushed and combed out
4. You don't p**p 💩 or p*e on the floor ( I hope) or on your hair dresser
5. Your toenails dont get clipped and filed
6. You sit still and don't flip, flail , fight and throw your body around like you're in a mosh pit. 🐊
7. Your hair dresser cuts your hair on your head , not your entire body including your ge****ls, feet, legs , chest back etc. ✂️
8. You don't try and hump or fight other clients ( I hope) 😅😂 or your stylist 😅
9. You didn't roll in s**t from a strange animal or get skunked before you came in for your appointment 🦨
10. Your hair gets combed and brushed and washed more than once every 4-10 weeks ( I hope 🤞🏼)
11. You don't have fleas
12. You don't have a skin infection and scabs or mulch, cedar, urine or f***s in your hair.

I could go on until about #30 but you get the gist so next time you take your dog to be groomed 🐶🐕🐩 🐾 ✂️ just say TANK YOU && don't question the price or compare it to your own haircut. Bc what we do is very very different. You should ABSOLUTELY pay more for grooming your pet than your own hair being trimmed💋😂🤔🙃🙃🥲🥹🤪
