Sometimes we fall in love with a dog because of how they look—but it’s just as important to know what’s underneath that adorable exterior! 🐾
Different coat types have very different grooming needs. A smooth-coated dog may need relatively simple maintenance, while double coats benefit from regular deshedding and should never get a haircut. Drop and curly coats require consistent brushing and grooming to prevent tangles and matting, and wire coats have their own unique maintenance needs to preserve their texture.
Understanding your dog’s coat helps you know how often to brush, bathe, condition, deshed, or schedule a haircut—and proper coat care is about so much more than looking good. It helps keep their skin and coat healthy, comfortable, and manageable. We hope this helps you to learn a little more about your pup! #716
