This is why we play classical music at Mana Dog Grooming, nurturing a serene atmosphere where our canine companions can swiftly unwind and feel at ease, thanks to the soothing power of classical music. 🎵

The latest study was done in a grooming environment:

"Grooming procedures are often stressful for dogs due to exposure to loud noises, unfamiliar individuals, and the absence of their owners. This study aimed to assess whether classical music could reduce stress-related behaviours in dogs during grooming. Fifteen companion dogs of various breeds, aged 2 to 8 years, were observed during three grooming sessions: a control session without music, and two experimental sessions featuring classical piano compositions–Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata and Chopin’s Nocturne. Music was played at 75 dB to mask ambient salon noise. Stress-related behaviours were rated on a 5-point scale during bathing, drying, clipping, and nail trimming. Results showed that all dogs, but especially males, exhibited significantly calmer behaviour in the music conditions. Female dogs showed similar trends, though differences were not statistically significant between stages. These findings suggest that classical music is a simple, effective, non-invasive enrichment method that can enhance dog welfare in grooming environments."

Double-coated companion dogs often require thorough maintenance of their undercoat such as raking and carding.
However, it doesn't seem quite right to say, "Just remove all the hair that's going to fall out." With raking, the appropriate amount and timing can vary greatly between individual dogs.

To get it just right, it's important for a professional to regularly touch and closely observe every part of the dog—even during times when raking isn't necessary.
Many people manage to give their dogs a good bath and brush session at home, but when a professional does it, they not only ensure quality in washing and drying, but also closely observe the dog's overall condition and adjust tools and grooming methods accordingly.

We encourage you to contact one of your local groomers to take care of your double coated dog once in a while and see the difference. 🙂
