One advantage of the cold is there is no waiting to get in 😊 call now!!
Did you know???
Double coated dogs do better with a clean and de-shedded coat to stay warm.

Going a bit shorter on your curly coats will not affect your dog’s warmth but will help avoid matting from all the snowballs.

At moisturizing bath helps your pup from dry itchy skin!!

Another reason “winter” grooming is so important!!

The name 'Hot Spot' also known as superficial pyoderma, moist pyoderma, or pyotraumatic dermatitis can be a misleading term. The name doesn't refer to the heat/temperature, instead it refers to the area being itchy, inflamed, moist, and angry.

Hot spots are actually more common in the winter for many fur bearing breeds. Normal skin is covered with various bacteria but infections don’t develop because healthy, intact skin is a natural protective barrier. Hot spots typically occur when the skin’s normal barrier is compromised from scratching (e.g. from allergic skin disease, insect bites) or chronic moisture (e.g. under the ear or collar of dogs that swim a lot).

For fur bearing breeds not kept groomed in the winter, the coat cannot perform properly. Excess undercoat that is stuck in the coat holds moisture against the skin for pets who get wet (e.g. rain, snow). A properly groomed coat will dry faster and not only make the skin less prone to hot spots, but will also keep your pet warmer!

Please take a moment to read. Would like to add for those of us where there is snow ❄️. Keep in mind that longer hair and dogs with double coats that aren’t properly maintained will stay wet longer and can cause a host of skin problems and matting.

Sometimes owners believe it is best to not groom their pet in the winter months so they "will be warmer". However, not grooming your pet in the winter can have the opposite effect.

Pets with coats that are groomed on a regular schedule, should be kept on schedule throughout the year. Every spring we see it in our salons. Dogs who are on a regular grooming schedule, but haven't been in for months simply because it's cold outside. The coat is matted and/or pelted and the poor pet gets shaved to the skin. Owners are upset because they don't understand that a blade must pass 'under' matting, it cannot go through it. Sometimes there are injuries or skin infections discovered underneath all that mess which leads to veterinary visits.

Keeping fur bearing breeds groomed means excessive undercoat does not build up allowing the coat to do it's job. The guard coat reflects wetness and cold, while the undercoat holds warm air near the skin.

For hair bearing breeds, it's okay to groom a bit longer for winter warmth, but dead undercoat still needs to be removed. However, 1/2 inch of extra coat keeps your pet no warmer. You will need extra inches if you are growing for warmth and that may mean more frequent grooming to prevent matting.

Is winter grooming really necessary? Absolutely it is!
