Not Too Soon, Not Too Late: The 4-Week Grooming Sweet Spot

Wondering why I keep talking about 4-week appointments? Here’s why they’re such a game-changer for you and you pup

1. Consistent Care = Healthier Skin & Coat

   Frequent grooming keeps the skin clean, the coat free of buildup, and helps reduce shedding. It also allows me to monitor your dog’s skin more closely—catching any issues early before they sneak up or need expensive vet care.

   Plus, dogs remember the routine—making each visit less stressful and more comfortable for them.

2. Better Results for Long Styles

   If you love that fluffy, fuller look for your dog, a 4-week schedule makes it actually doable. Less time between grooms means fewer tangles and more manageable hair, so your pup can keep that gorgeous style without discomfort (or surprise shave-downs).

3. Easier Maintenance at Home

   Regular grooming means less work for you. When I see your dog often, their coat stays in good shape, making brushing and upkeep between appointments easier (and way less stressful for both of you).

4. Predictable Appointments

   Let be honest—no one likes to scramble for last-minute appointments. With a 4-week routine, your spot is reserved like clockwork. It keeps grooming simple, smooth and stress free—for both of us.

5. Double-Coated Dogs Stay Cooler

   For double-coated breeds, this routine helps manage shedding and keeps them cooler in hot weather by removing impacted undercoat that traps heat.
