Short-Haired Breeds: Dogs with short hair may need grooming every 6-12 weeks, depending on shedding and maintenance requirements. Medium to Long-Haired Breeds: Breeds with medium to long hair may need grooming every 4-8 weeks to prevent matting and tangles. Breeds with Thick Coats: Dogs with thick double coats, like Huskies or Malamutes, might benefit from more frequent grooming during shedding seasons to remove loose fur. Doodle Breeds: Doodle breeds with curly or wavy coats, such as Labradoodles or Goldendoodles, typically require grooming every 6-8 weeks to prevent matting and maintain coat health. Regular Maintenance: Regardless of the breed, regular maintenance tasks like nail trimming, ear cleaning, and teeth brushing should be done more frequently, perhaps every 2-4 weeks. Health Considerations: Some health conditions may require more frequent grooming. For example, dogs with skin issues may need more attention to keep their coat and skin healthy.
