Happy springtime everyone! Just a quick reminder about home grooming. As the days get longer and slightly warmer, our dogs coats are beginning to change slightly. Lots of dogs that shed - double coats and short coats - will start to shed out, losing their winter coat to make way for a lighter summer coat. Some of us may not notice a big difference until we start vacuuming and seeing the tumbleweeds around! Our non-shedding friends ....alas.....still shed, although it's not as noticeable around the house often. They will shed within the coat and if it is isn't brushed out, the coat will often compact. This is what I'm noticing among the oodles and doodles as well as the thicker double coats. Brushing is the first step. It is a great way to remove that loose undercoat, but, and it's a fair sized but.....if the loose coat isn't combed out afterwards, its amazing how much of it still sits in the coat. My time is really pushed further if I have to brush for 30 mins to remove coat before the bath. If I don't brush before the bath, that loose undercoat compacts and takes even longer. If your dog is a beach-goer and often gets wet, that compact coat may start to mat! So...big ask....please keep on top of brushing AND combing. It's the combing that will make the ultimate difference to keep that coat flowing and will help me keep your dogs in great style 😉Thanks everyone x😘
