To shave or not to shave?

It depends on your dog's breed(s), skin health, and coat condition! As a rule, double-coated breeds shouldn't be shaved. Short-coated breeds should never be shaved as well. If you're unsure what to do for your dog, please give us a call before booking your appointment. Our experienced groomers can help you navigate the unique needs of your dog.
