How often should I groom my dog?

Most dogs benefit from brushing 2–3 times per week and a professional groom every 4–8 weeks, depending on coat type. Short-coated breeds like Beagles need less frequent brushing; Poodles, Doodles, and double-coated breeds like Huskies need daily or every-other-day brushing to prevent matting. Bathing every 4–6 weeks is typical — over-bathing strips natural oils.
