Dog Hair Cutting and Styling

Dog coats come in a variety of lengths and textures, from curly to silky and short to long. Maintaining their fur, no matter their characteristics, is important not only for outward appearances but for the internal conditions for your pet. It is import to know how your dog adapts, or doesn't, to the environment in which you both live. Long hair dogs tend to have a difficult time regulating their body temperature in the heat of Florida. Making sure they are trimmed properly for the hottest months is a must to prevent overheating outdoors. We can do a variety of cuts for your pet including full cuts, down to belly shaves, and everything in between. Shorter haired dogs also need to be conditioned for hotter months as they may have developed a thicker undercoat during the milder seasons. Haircuts and de-shedding of that wintery undercoat prepare your dog for the changing weather. 

Regular trims also keep your pup cleaner in the home. For long haired dogs especially, keeping the coat neat will keep them from dragging in debris they may have picked up from their jaunts in the outdoors. We also know that most people don’t particularly like the sight of dog fur tumbleweeds rolling around the house.

Staying on top of your pet’s trimming and shedding cycle will limit the excess fur they drop in your home as well as the matting of the top coat and undercoat. Matting is a coat issue that should be constantly monitored. Should your dog’s coat begin to mat it is essential to have these clumps brushed out, or for more extreme cases of matting, be cut out. These conditions can lead to larger skin problems, such as the disruption of blood flow to the top layer of skin. It also doesn’t hurt to see your buddy roaming around your home and the outside world with an adorable new do! No matter the coat style, your dog will feel lighter and ready to tackle their environment and changing temperatures with their wonderful styled fur.
