Short answer: Yes.

The Short Breakdown of Short Haired Dogs

Generally, short-haired dogs require less grooming maintenance, which is a huge plus for busy families or those who are constantly on the go. There’s a common misconception going around: “they don’t need to see a groomer.”

‍But we here at BooBoo Pet Grooming Services know that’s not true. 

Grooming is a just general term for addressing the needs of dog care and wellness. It includes all the ear cleaning, teeth brushing, anal glands expression, nail trimming, and other things we do to keep our pups healthy and happy.

Shortcuts to Short-Coated Breeds

While it’s easy to assume short-haired dogs only require wash-and-go baths, they actually need a bit more. Short-haired dogs do shed. While their shedding coat doesn’t fall out in clumps during spring, it does slowly shed year-round‍

Because grooming is less of a chore for short haired dogs and their owners, it can be looked forward to as a pleasant bonding time. Just remember to communicate with the groomer effectively so that their time spent with the dog can be justified both ways…

  1. Seeing a groomer for your short-coated breed on a recurring basis can help with the shedding in your house.
  2. Regular grooming and bathing can help prevent skin issues, allergies, and oily skin conditions, ensuring their dog has a healthy and comfortable coat.
  3. Keeping their nails trimmed and maintaining their ears and eyes between appointments can help prevent discomfort and health problems.

And at BooBoo Pet Grooming Services we’d be happy to help with keeping your dogs happy and healthy with whatever services they require.
