The frequency of grooming depends on your dog's breed, coat type, and lifestyle. Long-haired breeds typically need grooming every 4-8 weeks to prevent matting. Medium-haired breeds usually require grooming every 8-12 weeks for coat and skin health. Short-haired breeds can often go 8-16 weeks between sessions. Double-coated breeds benefit from grooming 2-4 times a year, especially during shedding seasons.
