Should I have my Dog groomed in Winter?
Grooming over the winter months is just as important to the health of your dog as grooming in the summer. Long, wet, matted hair easily makes a cold, wet, and infection-susceptible dog.
While the double-coated breeds and others with thick, long fur are more winter-ready than short-haired dogs, it can quickly become a problem if the fur isn't maintained in a healthy condition. Fur that's matted doesn't insulate or provide warmth; instead, it provides discomfort, sometimes pain, and hot spots. Matting can on occasion lead to infections below the skin, Grooming is really important throughout the year for your dog's good health and comfort, and of course keeping them looking their best.
