How Often Do I Need to Get My Pet Groomed?

RAFFI OHANIAN • June 9, 2022

For many pet owners, grooming is not just about keeping their pets looking good—it's an essential part of maintaining their overall health and happiness. At Happy Hounds Grooming, we specialize in providing top-tier pet grooming services that cater to the unique needs of your furry friends. Whether you're considering our mobile dog grooming services or visiting our pet groomers at the shop, understanding the frequency of grooming can help ensure your pet is always in tip-top shape.


Understanding Pet Grooming Necessities


The frequency with which you should get your pet groomed can vary based on several factors, including breed, size, type of coat, and lifestyle. Our pet groomers recommend a grooming schedule that suits the specific needs of your pet, ensuring they not only look their best but also feel great.


Services Offered by Happy Hounds Grooming


Mobile Dog Grooming: Our mobile dog groomer services are designed for convenience, bringing professional grooming right to your doorstep. This service is perfect for busy pet owners or pets that get stressed traveling to a grooming facility.


Mobile Pet Grooming: Similar to our mobile dog grooming, our mobile pet groomer services offer the convenience of high-quality grooming services for all types of pets, directly at your home. This is ideal for households with multiple pets or for pets that require a gentler touch in a familiar environment.


The Role of Regular Grooming


Regular visits to a pet groomer can prevent many issues such as excessive shedding, skin and paw disorders, and matted fur, which can lead to more severe health problems if left unattended. Additionally, a mobile dog groomer or mobile pet groomer can provide personalized attention to your pet's specific health needs during each session.


Breed-Specific Grooming Recommendations


  • Short-haired dogs might seem low maintenance, but even they benefit from regular grooming every 5-6 weeks.
  • Long-haired breeds can require more frequent visits to the pet groomer—typically every 4 weeks—to prevent tangling and matting.
  • Cats, whether short or long-haired, also benefit from regular grooming to reduce shedding and hairballs.


Why Choose Mobile Grooming?


Choosing mobile dog grooming or mobile pet grooming from Happy Hounds Grooming ensures that your pet is handled in the comfort and safety of their own home. Our mobile dog groomer and mobile pet groomer are equipped to provide comprehensive services including bathing, fur trimming, nail clipping, and ear cleaning.


Benefits of Regular Grooming by Happy Hounds Grooming


  1. Health Checks: Regular grooming sessions allow our pet groomers to detect early signs of potential health issues.
  2. Stress Reduction: Our mobile pet groomer services are designed to reduce stress for pets by eliminating the need to travel.
  3. Personalized Service: Each session with our mobile dog groomer is tailored to your pet’s specific needs and comfort levels.


Grooming Frequency Guidelines


To keep your pet healthy and happy, here’s a simple guideline to follow:

  • Routine Check-ups: Regardless of the breed, a check-up with your pet groomer every 6-8 weeks is advisable.
  • Active Pets and Shedders: More frequent grooming sessions may be necessary if your pet spends a lot of time outdoors or has a thick coat.
