Understanding Your Dog's Coat Type and What it Needs

Short coats (like Staffies or Boxers) still benefit from regular bathing and brushing to remove loose hair and maintain healthy skin oils.
Double coats (like Collies or Huskies) shed seasonally and need regular deshedding to prevent tangles and overheating.
Wool or curly coats (like Cockapoos or Poodles) grow continuously, so trims every 6–8 weeks help avoid matting.

Many owners are surprised at how much easier coat care becomes when they follow a routine suited to their dog’s breed and activity level. It’s not about fancy styling, it’s about comfort and prevention.

Here in Kirkham and across the Fylde Coast, our coastal weather means damp fur and sea air can dry out coats faster than you’d think. Using the right shampoo and conditioning treatments can make a big difference between visits.
