What Should Frisco Dog Owners Know About Grooming Short-Haired Dogs?

December 10, 2019

Grooming short-haired dogs requires a different approach than long-haired cousins. When it comes to pet grooming, there are a few things that you need to know about keeping your short-haired pup happy, healthy, and looking beautiful. The good news is that if you are running out of time during the day, you can always hire a mobile dog groomer to take care of your short-haired dog's grooming needs.

Grooming a Short-Haired Dog 101

The good news about a short-haired pup is that their coat doesn't typically have mats or knots. However, the bad news is that short-haired dogs need consistent grooming to remove dead hair and skin from their coats. Additionally, grooming helps to distribute natural body oils, which will lead to a healthier, shinier and softer coat.

As an added bonus, regular grooming short-haired dogs can help to reduce the amount of hair that they shed on a daily basis. The result is a cleaner home that is free of dog hair.

Be Careful When Grooming Short-Haired Dogs

While your short-haired pup probably enjoys gentle brushing, you need to be careful that you don't use a brush that is too harsh for his short coat. You should also take the following precautions for in-home care:

Heat sources can be damaging to short-haired dogs whose hair offers limited protection.
Be on the lookout for quick moving parasites that will try to hide as you are grooming.
Make sure that you use a gentle moisturizer to keep your dog's skin and coat as lustrous as possible.
Remove dead hair and skin, distribute oils evenly, and be mindful of skin conditions especially during the hot Texas summers and chilly winter months. Don't forget that dogs often shed their coats more rigorously when the seasons change. With this in mind, even though Frisco doesn't often see below-freezing temperatures, you might want to invest in a jacket for your short-haired pup.

After your in-home routine, you might discover that you have removed enough hair to make a large pile. If you are worried about the amount of hair that your dog is shedding, then it might be time to book a pet grooming appointment with your favorite mobile pet grooming.
