The best
dog grooming
services in Poway, Ca

Most dogs benefit from grooming every 4 to 8 weeks, depending on their breed, coat type, and lifestyle. Long-haired or curly-coated breeds like Poodles or Doodles may need more frequent grooming to prevent matting, while short-haired dogs can go a bit longer between visits. Regular grooming helps keep their coat healthy, reduces shedding, and supports overall hygiene. Your groomer can recommend a schedule that’s best for your dog.

Yes, many dogs are happier after grooming! Regular grooming removes mats, dirt, and excess hair, which can be uncomfortable or even painful. Clean fur, trimmed nails, and healthy skin help your dog feel more comfortable and move more freely. Plus, the one-on-one attention and soothing touch can be calming and enjoyable for many pups. While some dogs may be nervous during the process, they often leave the salon feeling fresh, relaxed, and more at ease.

How long a dog can go without grooming depends on their breed, coat type, and overall health. In general:

• Long-haired or curly-coated breeds (like Shih Tzus, Poodles, or Doodles) should be groomed every 4–6 weeks to prevent painful matting and maintain coat health.
• Short-haired breeds (like Beagles or Labs) may go 8–12 weeks between grooming, though regular baths and nail trims are still important.
• Dogs with double coats (like Huskies or Golden Retrievers) benefit from grooming every 6–8 weeks to manage shedding and skin health.
