Don't let your dog end up like this! Regular upkeep with professional grooming every 6 weeks is a must with thick coats. Mats pull the skin and cause pain plus trap moisture leading to skin infections. Let us help you keep your dog clean and comfortable at Side Kicks Pooch Parlor! https://www.ozarksfirst.com/unscripted/springfield-side-kick-dog-training-grooming-tips-tricks/
