Brush the right way
Use the brush that suits your dog's coat: a slicker brush for curly and long coats, an undercoat rake for double coats. Brush to the skin, not just the surface, focusing on behind the ears, armpits and the base of the tail where mats start.
Feed the coat from the inside
A balanced diet with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids supports a soft, shiny coat and healthy skin. Fresh water and the right portions matter too.
Quick maintenance between visits
Wipe muddy paws, keep the sanitary area tidy, and check ears weekly. If you find a mat you cannot brush out, book a visit before it spreads.

How often should I brush my dog at home?
Curly and long coats need brushing 3 to 4 times a week or daily. Short coats are fine with a weekly brush.
What can I do about shedding?
Regular brushing, a de-shedding treatment at the salon, and a coat-supporting diet all reduce loose hair around the house.
