  2. INTRODUCTION Grooming is an essential part of keeping your dog healthy, comfortable, and looking its best. For pet owners in dog grooming Auckland is not just about aesthetics—it plays a crucial role in maintaining your dog's overall well-being. Understanding how often to groom your dog based on their breed, coat type, and lifestyle will help ensure they stay happy and healthy year-round. This guide will help you determine how often to groom your dog and the best practices for keeping them clean and healthy.

  3. 1. BREED-SPECIFIC GROOMING NEEDS Different dog breeds have different grooming requirements. Long-haired breeds such as Golden Retrievers or Shih Tzus often need more frequent grooming compared to short-haired breeds like Beagles or Bulldogs. Dogs with curly coats, like Poodles, may require regular trimming to prevent matting, while smooth-coated breeds may only need occasional brushing.

  4. SHORT-HAIRED BREEDS: • Brush: 1-2 times a week • Bath: Once a month or when dirty • Nail trimming: Every 3-4 weeks • Ear cleaning: Monthly

  5. LONG-HAIRED BREEDS: • Brush: Daily or at least 3-4 times a week • Bath: Every 4-6 weeks • Nail trimming: Every 3-4 weeks • Ear cleaning: Monthly

  6. 2. THE IMPACT OF AUCKLAND’S WEATHER ON GROOMING Auckland's humid summers and colder winters can influence how often you should groom your dog. In summer, dogs may require more frequent baths to remove sweat, dirt, and allergens, especially if they spend a lot of time outdoors. Brushing regularly in winter helps remove dead fur, preventing matting and promoting a healthy coat.

  7. 3. LIFESTYLE AND ACTIVITY LEVEL Active dogs that enjoy Auckland’s parks, beaches, and outdoor areas are likely to get dirtier than those with a more sedentary lifestyle. If your dog frequently swims, especially at the beach, it’s important to rinse their coat to remove salt, sand, and any potential irritants.

  8. 4. GROOMING FOR DOGS WITH SKIN CONDITIONS Some dogs may have skin sensitivities or allergies that require special grooming routines. It’s essential to consult with your vet or a professional groomer to determine the best grooming products and schedule for these dogs, as over-washing can aggravate skin problems.

  9. 5. SIGNS YOUR DOG NEEDS GROOMING Even if you’re following a grooming schedule, there may be signs that indicate it’s time for an extra grooming session. Look out for: • Matted or tangled fur • Excessive shedding • Unpleasant odour • Dirty or inflamed ears • Long or clicking nails • Dirt or debris in the coat
