Care

A dog's nails (correctly referred to as "claws") grow slightly differently, depending primarily on two factors: the breed's history and thus their genetic makeup, and the pet's current activity level. Breeds that historically "went to ground," meaning they hunted vermin in burrows in the ground, tend to have longer, thicker nails (think Terriers), while dogs bred for their looks or beauty may have nails that are smaller and more delicate (think Maltese). The key to properly managing your pet's nails is to trim the nail close to the "quick," which is the vein and nerve in each dog's nail, without actually cutting it too short and causing the nail to bleed. Most pets with average activity levels usually need a nail trim at least once a month, but some pets that are very active and walk on rough surfaces may naturally file their nails during their walks. For home groomers, the best advice is to remember that a little nail trimming is better than none at all. Once you learn the anatomy of a nail and become more confident in safe trimming (and filing), you can help your pet feel their best by maintaining those nails properly.

When discussing a dog's cycle of heat (known as menstruation in humans), it is first important to mention that pet owners should have their dogs spayed or neutered, not only because of the long-term health benefits, but also out of compassion for the already overcrowded shelters. For female dogs (correctly referred to as "bitches"), their cycle begins with swelling of the vulva and is accompanied by bleeding, usually for 9-10 days. After the flowering cycle, the female dog enters what is commonly referred to as "heat," when she sends a very clear message to every intact male dog in the neighborhood that she is ready and capable of becoming pregnant. The "heat" phase can last between 3 and 21 days, with an average cycle of about 9 days. This cycle usually repeats twice a year, but can vary depending on the dog's age, breed and size. It is not recommended to schedule a visit to the groomer during the bleeding or heat cycle, but in the event that it is unavoidable, be sure to notify the groomer in advance.

Coat plucking, also known as "manual plucking," is a grooming technique used specifically for wirehaired coat types. This involves manually removing the dead outer coat to stimulate the growth of new hairs. Historically, many wirehaired dogs helped hunt or exterminate vermin, with the dead outer coat being removed naturally as they worked. Today, wirehaired breeds are mostly pets, and their outer coat does not shed easily without stimulation by plucking techniques. Once the dead outer coat is plucked, the soft and silky undercoat becomes visible and the new, healthy outer coat can begin to grow. How do you pluck a dog's coat? To pluck a dog's coat, use your fingers or a special plucking knife to pull the dead hairs from the outer coat. This should be done gently and evenly so as not to hurt the dog and to get an even result. It is important to pluck regularly to keep the coat healthy and neat.

Dewooling is the removal of dead undercoat in certain double-layered breeds. The amount of shedding needed depends on a few factors, such as breed, age, health and time of year. Regular brushing of a double-layered breed can control severe shedding throughout the year. But in the spring and fall, many double-layered breeds experience heavier-than-normal shedding. During this time, it is very helpful to increase brushing schedules and use grooming tools that can help remove excess shedding. Need help with your shedding pet?

Dogs usually do not need daily or even weekly baths unless under the supervision of a veterinarian. Most dogs that follow a regular grooming schedule are usually washed every 2 to 6 weeks, with the most common bathing cycle every 4 weeks. But for some breeds, specialists recommend washing only when absolutely necessary. Every pet is slightly different, and it helps to find an optimal bathing routine that fits their specific needs depending on coat type, activity level and the owner's lifestyle and preferences.

How often to wash a dog depends on many factors, mainly based on coat type and lifestyle. As a rule of thumb, a dog should not be washed more than once a week, unless under the supervision of a veterinarian because of a skin condition. Be sure to use products designed specifically for your pet because the pH (acid) balance for dogs is different from that of humans. And don't wash your pet too often, as this can strip the skin and coat of useful natural oils.

Dog trimming is an essential part of pet care for many reasons. Some key benefits of dog trimming include:

1. Hygiene and comfort: A clean and well-groomed pet has the best chance for health and happiness. Besides the basic care that applies to all pets, such as cleaning the eyes, cleaning the ears, clipping the nails and keeping the skin healthy, a dog's coat requires special attention. A neglected coat can become a medical problem for many breeds; not only can a matted coat hold dirt and other bacteria-laden substances, but it can also stiffen and be tight around the pet, causing much discomfort. Make sure you know if your pet's coat needs regular brushing, regular clipping or specialized treatment.
2. Temperature control: Whether you live in a hot or cold climate, a dog's coat can provide protection from the elements and an insulating layer against the outside temperature. In order for a coat to properly perform these functions, each coat type must be properly maintained, whether by brushing, plucking, trimming or a combination of different grooming techniques.
3. Skin and coat health: Brushing the coat promotes healthy circulation, stimulates the skin and distributes natural oils.
4. Aesthetics: Pet grooming is mostly about the health and well-being of our pets, but the way a pet is styled can certainly be an important factor for pet owners, especially for breeds that have distinctive looks.
5. Problem prevention: Regular grooming can help in early detection of skin and coat problems, parasites and other health problems, such as lumps and lesions.

A dog's coat goes through a growth cycle that depends on the type of coat and genetic factors. In some dogs, the coat continues to grow continuously, with a growth rate of about 0.5-1.25 cm per month. In other dogs, the coat stops growing once it reaches a certain length. The life cycle of the coat consists of several stages: growth, resting, shedding and regrowth, involving both the outer coat and the undercoat.

Every dog can and should be groomed, from hairless to the hairiest! Frequency and grooming procedures change depending on coat type, but the basics of ear, eye, nail and skin care apply to all dogs. Every dog owner should educate themselves on the proper grooming requirements for their breed and coat type and decide whether to groom their pets themselves or schedule regular grooming visits with a professional. Grooming needs can range from basic bathing and brushing to complex styling and trimming, so it is important to understand your pet's specific grooming needs. If you're considering grooming your pet yourself, our grooming products and free instructional video can help!

The time it takes to trim a dog can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, including the size of the dog, the type of coat, the condition of the coat and the complexity of the trim. A small dog with a short coat may take 30-45 minutes to professionally groom from start to finish, while a large dog with a thick or long coat may take many hours. A professional groomer can give you an estimate after a consultation. For home groomers, the time to trim a dog depends on the equipment available for the job and the owner's expertise.

Many dog breeds can benefit from some degree of basic trimming to keep them clean and looking their best. The most common types of trimming for dogs include keeping their paws neat, trimming around their hindquarters and belly areas for hygienic purposes, and tidying their silhouette if needed. Breeds that require full trims and styles are usually those with coats that continue to grow, such as Poodles, Bichons and other single-layered pets.

Dogs should be groomed as often as necessary to stay clean and healthy! For some breeds and lifestyles, the proper frequency may be every few weeks, while other breeds with basic grooming requirements may only need to visit the groomer a few times a year. And for home groomers who learn the proper procedures for grooming their pets at home, visits to the groomer may not be necessary at all! If you plan to groom your dog at home, visit our website for tools and information that can help you!

Not all dogs should be shaved. In some breeds, clipping can cause irreparable damage to the coat, which is a big problem because these breeds need their coat as insulation and protection. Even if your pet belongs to a breed that can be shaved, it is often better to leave the coat a little longer, as in a "puppy cut. Consult with your groomer to create a grooming plan that fits your budget and lifestyle so that your pet receives the proper care for comfort and health. If you take care of grooming yourself, research carefully the specific needs of your pet's breed(s). Here is an overview of some common categories of coat types in dogs.

When preparing to shave a dog, the choice to bathe the dog before or after shaving depends on how short you want to shave. If you want to shave the coat down to the skin, which is only necessary in the most extreme cases, such as severe tangles, and only for certain breeds and mixes, you should shave the coat first before washing the dog. For clippings where the coat is easy to brush and any tangles are far from the skin, wash and dry the coat well before you begin cutting or trimming. If you only want to shave small areas, such as around the soles of the feet, a full bathing and preparation procedure is not necessary.

If you are ready to trim a pet, congratulations! The first step is to educate yourself well on the proper care of the specific coat type you want to trim. Home groomers may focus on one or a few breeds, while professional groomers need to know all types of coats found in the pet world. The next step is to equip yourself with the right tools. For pets that need intensive brushing, the right brushes, combs and rakes are essential. For pets that need clipping, brushes, combs, clippers and scissors are essential. Finally, for a proper grooming session, you must properly prepare your pet, which requires a thorough washing and drying procedure. However, the most important factor in grooming a dog is patience and a positive attitude! Need grooming tools? We can help!

Shaving a dog down to the skin is an extreme measure that should only be considered if the pet has a coat that can tolerate shaving (as in single layered dogs such as Poodles) and if it is the last option due to medical problems, such as severe tangles. Dogs that require clipping should be kept to a length consistent with grooming frequency. Dogs that are brushed often and groomed regularly can be kept longer if desired. Dogs that are not frequently brushed and do not receive regular grooming should be kept shorter to prevent the coat from tangling and causing pain. Important: Some breeds, especially those with thick double coats (such as Siberian Huskies), should never be completely clipped because of the damage this can cause to the coat. Limit trimming to small, detailed areas such as soles of feet and hygienic areas for breeds not suitable for full clipping.

Although dog trimming is rewarding in many ways, there are some challenges to the profession. It is a physical job with live animals, which means there is a lot of bending and lifting involved, complicated by the fact that a dog's movements can be unpredictable. This kind of physical exertion also accumulates over the years of full-time trimming and requires groomers to take special care of their physical health. In addition to physical challenges, the grooming profession also has many psychological challenges, as groomers become connected to their clients' emotions and share the burden of any problems a pet may be going through. But overall, it is a rewarding profession that brings joy to furry and human clients, making dog trimming a fulfilling occupation that is worthwhile despite its challenges.

Once you have determined that the specific breed or coat type is appropriate for a trim or full haircut, follow these steps to cut a dog's hair:

1. Assess the coat: The condition of the coat determines the length and styles possible, as tangles and other coat conditions limit the options available.
2. Prepare the coat: Unless the coat is closely matted, wash, dry and brush out the coat thoroughly before beginning full body styling.
3. Use the right tools: Most full haircuts require a combination of clippers or trimmers, attachment combs, scissors and other tools such as brushes and combs.

For a jump-start on learning how to cut a dog's hair, see our Grooming Guide.

The most important thing when grooming a dog is knowledge and preparation, as each coat type requires a specific grooming plan. However, there are some basic tools and supplies that apply to most dogs. First, it is helpful to create the right environment to make grooming comfortable for you and the pet, such as a raised grooming table and a grooming loop to keep the pet safe. Next, use products designed for your pet's needs, such as ear cleaner, shampoo, conditioner and various sprays. Basic grooming tools such as nail clippers, a brush, a comb, scissors and clippers (trimmer) for minor touch-ups or full haircuts are essential. In addition to these basic supplies, there are specialized tools for detangling, detangling and removing loose hair.

Pet grooming should never hurt! Keeping your pet clean and in excellent condition should be a pleasurable experience for them. It is important to properly introduce pets to the grooming process; always use gentle and proper procedures as well as the right tools for the pet's coat type. Our grooming course can get you started!

Dogs need grooming all year round! Each type of coat requires specific attention, but there are a few basic grooming tasks that apply to all dogs, such as clipping nails, cleaning eyes and ears, and grooming teeth. Dogs with a single coat, often referred to as "hair," should be trimmed regularly, usually every 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the condition and length of their coat. For dogs that shed, more brushing is required in the spring and fall, as their coats go through a seasonal cycle. Remember that almost all dogs, regardless of their coat, benefit from trimming under the soles of their feet and around their private areas to stay clean year-round. Read our eBook on seasonal grooming tips to learn what's important in each season. Download the free here.

The time it takes to trim a dog depends on several factors, including the size of the dog, the type and condition of the coat, the brushing or styling desired, and the dog's temperament. A small dog with a short coat can be completely groomed in 30 to 45 minutes. In contrast, a large dog with a thick coat, complex styling, or special needs may take much longer, with grooming taking several hours.  

Shaving a pet completely bald is an extreme measure and should be considered only after a professional has assessed the coat and confirmed that shaving is the only option. A dog's coat plays a crucial role in protecting the skin from outside influences such as cold and heat. In many dogs with thick, double coats, shaving can cause serious damage. Trimming the coat and performing grooming tasks such as trimming hygienic areas and foot pads is essential for basic grooming and to improve silhouette for many breeds. For dogs with coats that require full clipping, such as Poodles and Bichons, or breeds with specific styling requirements, it is always healthier to keep the coat longer and trimmed rather than shaved.

Trimming a dog can be challenging, but with the right tools and knowledge, it becomes a rewarding experience that strengthens the bond with your dog. Ready to get started? We're ready to help! Check out our dog trimming products here.  

It is not advisable to use clippers made for humans to trim a dog. Although the mechanics of human and pet clippers are similar, the difference is in the power and durability of the tool. A pet clipper is specifically designed to effortlessly cut through thick coats and withstand prolonged use, while a human clipper is only suitable for light use and shorter sessions. Check out our dog clippers here.

The equipment you need to trim a pet depends on the type and breed of the animal. In addition to basic grooming such as clipping nails and cleaning ears and teeth, every pet owner must be familiar with the specific needs of the breed they are working with. Dogs can usually be classified into four grooming categories:

1. Bath and Brush: Wash and brush only.
2. Bath, Brush and Light Trim Work: Washing, brushing and light trim work such as touching up certain areas.
3. Bath, Brush and Full Cut: Wash, brush and a full cut, where the coat is trimmed or cut everywhere.
4. Bath and Brush with possible extras: Washing, brushing and additional grooming treatments, such as touching up specific coat areas or hygienic trims.

For each of these categories, it is helpful to set up a grooming area with, for example, a grooming table, a trimming arm and a loop so that trimming is comfortable for both you and your pet. Depending on your pet's coat category, you usually have an appropriate brush, a comb for many breeds, clippers or trimmers for paws and sensitive areas, and various other tools and products appropriate to the coat type.

The cost of trimming a Keeshond is in the mid to upper price range. Although a Keeshond does not require full clipping, which reduces the cost of advanced styling, their very thick coat requires significantly more brushing than many other breeds. It is important to remember that a Keeshond should never be shaved unless on veterinary advice, as this can damage their beautiful coat. The cost of trimming a Keeshond varies depending on the size of the dog. For a Medium Stroke Keeshond, standard prices start from €70.00, while for a round haircut the cost starts at €75.00. For more specific information on prices, it is recommended to contact your groomer.

Most dog groomers work on a commission basis rather than a fixed hourly rate. The percentage of the commission usually varies between 30% and 60% of the grooming service, depending on the groomer's experience. Because prices for grooming services vary based on location, salon reputation and other factors, the actual commission a trimmer earns can vary widely. On average, the hourly rate for a dog groomer is around $30.00. This can vary depending on the time required to groom a dog. For a complete grooming session that lasts, say, 1.5 hours, a fee of around €45.00 is usually charged.

Yes, trimming is definitely good! Regular grooming is an essential part of your pet's well-being. Just like humans, pets need grooming to maintain their basic hygiene, such as clipping nails, cleaning eyes and ears, and brushing teeth. Since pets are a beloved part of our family, we also want to keep them clean and fresh so they can share our home with us. In addition, different coat types require different levels of grooming. Some pets need regular brushing, others need clipping, and most need a combination of brushing and trimming. These grooming routines not only help maintain their appearance, but also contribute to their overall health and well-being.

The cost of trimming a Pomeranian can vary due to a variety of factors, but because Pomeranians are not allowed a full haircut, the cost depends primarily on how much brushing and combing is needed to "open up" the coat. This means that all the dead undercoat has been brushed out and the entire coat is easily combable. The only trimming required for this breed includes hygienic trimming, touching up the soles of the feet, tidying the paws and sometimes a conservative trim of the silhouette. Note that a Pomeranian's coat should never be shaved or cut too short, as this can damage the delicate coat. Keep your Pomeranian's pads and hygienic areas neat and clean with our grooming kit! As a bonus, we add a handy comb to all of our sets!

All dogs need regular grooming, but this can be done either at a groomer or at home by a knowledgeable dog owner. With the many resources available today, grooming your pet yourself is a viable and worthwhile option - provided you are willing to do some research, invest work, and use the right tools. We're here to help you do just that! Check out our FAQ on grooming for more information.

The cost of having a dog professionally trimmed can vary greatly depending on the complexity and time required for grooming. For example, a small dog with a short coat requires only basic grooming, such as a bath, brushing, nail trimming and ear cleaning. In contrast, a larger dog with a thick, double coat or a breed with complex styling requires more time and skill. Other factors that affect price include the location of the groomer, their reputation and convenience of service (such as mobile grooming). In addition to standard grooming, groomers often charge extra for additional services such as teeth brushing, detangling, anal gland expression and the use of specialized products and treatments. As a result, costs can range from about €30 for basic grooming of a short-haired Chihuahua, to €200 or more for intensive brushing and detangling of a Newfoundlander, or for manual trimming and sculpting of a Standard Poodle. Many pet owners try to reduce their grooming costs by learning to groom their pets themselves. While this can seem challenging at first, home trimming offers the advantage of focusing on your pet's specific breed and coat type. In addition, it strengthens the bond with your pet through the shared grooming process. However, it is important to properly research the proper grooming requirements of your dog's breed and coat type to keep their coat healthy and in top condition. Taking care of your pet yourself?

Grooming a pet includes various aspects of care, such as bathing, brushing, nail trimming, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, and more. For certain breeds suitable for haircuts, that includes trimming and full body styling. For pets that do not require clipping, most grooming tasks can be done without clippers. However, for pets that require minimal trimming, such as trimming hygienic areas and foot pads, clippers are the safest choice and highly recommended.

Trimming without clippers: what are the options?

For breeds that do require full clipping but where you prefer to trim without clippers, there are two main options:

1. Girth trimming: This type of trimming, as you would see on a show Maltese, is performed with shears to emphasize the dog's silhouette and make the coat float above the ground.
2. Full clipping: It is possible to trim the dog's coat all over the body with shears, as in a puppy cut. However, it is important to note that not only does this take a lot of time and skill, but the results are often less uniform and aesthetically pleasing than if you use clippers with an attachment comb. In addition, with both perimeter trimming and full clipping, you still need to trim sensitive areas such as soles of the feet and private areas. For these sensitive areas, clippers are highly recommended for safety reasons.

To detangle your dog with a double-layered coat, there are several effective methods and tools you can use. Detangling means removing loose undercoat that naturally falls out, depending on the season and life stage of the coat. This process helps prevent tangles and keep loose hair from getting all over the house. Here are the recommended steps and tips for detangling your dog:

1. Preparation

• Choose the right environment: Make sure you have a comfortable place where you can easily collect and dispose of the loose fur.
• Calm your dog: If your dog is nervous, consider asking someone to help. A grooming table with a loop can also be helpful in keeping your dog safe and calm.
• Use positive reinforcement: Reward your dog during the process to make sure he is comfortable and sees deworming as a positive experience.

2. Use the right tools

• Brushes and combs: Use a good rake brush and a metal comb. For thick, double-layered breeds such as Samoyed or Alaskan Malamutes, regular brushing and combing (every few days) is necessary. Breeds such as Labrador Retrievers require less maintenance.
• De-wooling tools: Consider additional de-shedding tools, such as de-shedding rakes, specifically designed for different coat types and lengths.

3. Technique

• Brush in the direction of hair growth: Always brush, comb or rake in the direction of hair growth and avoid excessive pressure. Work in sections and lift the coat to get to the roots without damaging the skin.
• Use a metal comb: Start with a comb with wider-spaced teeth and then work with a fine-tooth comb to thoroughly check each section.

4. Regular care

• Bathing and drying: Bathing, conditioning and drying your dog with a high-speed dryer every 4 to 8 weeks is a very effective way to remove loose undercoat. Professional groomers often use a high-speed dryer to blow dead hair and dander out of the coat, contributing to a thorough shedding process.

5. Note

Not all dog breeds need to be wormed. Be sure to use deworming tools only on breeds with double-layered coats.

To determine which dogs need to be trimmed, you can divide dog coats into two categories: those with a fixed coat length and those with an indeterminate coat length.

1. Dogs with a fixed coat length

Fixed coat length breeds and mixes have coats that are genetically determined to grow to a certain length and then stop. Many dog breeds fall into this category, such as Beagles, Huskies, Corgis, Dachshunds, Labrador Retrievers and many others. Even if the coat is longer or shorter on different parts of the body, as in a Golden Retriever or a Spaniel, this fixed length still applies. These dogs usually require little trimming, depending on their breed standard and the condition of their coat. It is often sufficient to trim hygienic areas and the soles of the feet with clippers.

2. Dogs with indeterminate coat length

Breeds and mixes with indeterminate coat length have coats that continue to grow and thus require regular trimming. Dogs with this type of coat are often "single-layered," meaning they have little or no undercoat. Trimming these breeds can range from full clipping and sculpting (as in Poodles) to maintaining a falling coat (as in a Maltese or Shih Tzu in a show trim). Dogs with indeterminate coat length require regular grooming and trimming. Although the coat length is indeterminate, the type and texture of the coat can vary greatly, such as the coarse, curly coat of a Poodle compared to the silky, straight hair of a Maltese. In addition to hygienic trimming and touching up the soles of the feet, many dogs with indeterminate coat lengths are often kept in a "puppy cut." This involves cutting the length of the body with an attachment comb to a short to medium length, usually between 10-25 mm, and trimming the head and face to match the style of the body.

Clippers are the safest and most effective tools to use when shaving a dog. Whether you plan to shave a small area, such as the paws or face, or your dog's entire body, it's important to know that not every dog is suitable to be clipped. Read on for more information and tips.

1. Shave small areas

For small areas, such as the legs, face or around the genitals, use clippers with an appropriate blade length. Here are some guidelines:

• Genitals and sensitive areas: Use a toning knife with a length of about 1.5 - 2 mm.
• Foot soles: Use a shorter blade, usually 0.5 - 0.8 mm.

Make sure you are knowledgeable about using clippers to avoid injury to your pet. Our beginner's course provides step-by-step instructions for safe and effective use of clippers.

2. Are you considering a full shave?

Before you consider a full shave, determine if this is the right choice for your dog. For many double-layered breeds, a full shave is not only unnecessary, but can permanently damage the coat. Double-layered coats serve as natural insulators - both for heat and for cooling and protection from the elements. Therefore, shearing is usually only appropriate for certain single-layer breeds, such as Poodles. If you are unsure if your dog is suitable for a full shave, consult a professional groomer.

3. When should you shave?

If you have determined that your dog is a suitable candidate for a full shave, for example because of severe tangles, determine whether to shave the coat before or after bathing:

• Tight tangles (close to the skin): Shave before bathing.
• Loose tangles (farther from the skin): Wash and condition the coat first to loosen dirt and tangles, then shave.

Remember, complete shaving to a very short length is often considered a last resort. If the tangles are not severe, consider using an attachment comb on your clippers for a longer trim, such as a "puppy cut."

4. Extra help for beginners

To help home groomers, we have teamed up with a professional groomer to develop a beginner's course. This course provides a solid foundation, including practical guidance and essential tips to become confident and proficient in trimming your dog at home.

Hair shedding is a natural and healthy process for many dog breeds and mixes, but you can control the amount of hair in your home by following a few key steps:

1. Regular brushing: Brush your dog regularly in an area where you can easily collect and dispose of the loose coat. This not only helps remove loose hair, but also improves the skin's circulation, distributes natural oils and promotes a healthy coat. Use tools that match your dog's coat type, such as a rubber brush for short, smooth coats, and a rake brush for thicker and longer coats.
2. Good nutrition: A diet rich in essential nutrients, such as omega-3 fatty acids, can improve coat health and reduce excessive shedding. Consider adding supplements such as salmon oil to your dog's diet.
3. Regular bathing and blow-drying: Regular bathing, conditioning and blow-drying can help significantly in controlling shedding. While bathing you rinse away loose hair, and with a high-speed blow dryer you can then blow these hairs out of the coat in a controlled environment, much like professional groomers do.

By following these steps, you can better control your dog's shedding, leading to a cleaner home and a healthier pet! Want easy pet hair removal? Then check out our Hair-Free Magic Bundle here - the total solution to pet hair!
