How Often Should Your Dog Get a Haircut?
The frequency of professional grooming depends on your dog’s breed, coat type, and the style you want to maintain. According to the American Kennel Club, most dogs benefit from professional grooming every 4-8 weeks, though requirements vary significantly.
Long-Haired Breeds

- Brushing 3+ times weekly to prevent matting

Double-Coated Breeds

- Focus on undercoat removal rather than haircuts
- Never shave double-coated breeds – it can damage coat regrowth

Why Professional Dog Haircuts Matter
Regular professional grooming isn’t just about appearance—it’s an essential component of your dog’s overall health and wellbeing. According to Rover’s grooming experts, consistent professional grooming offers numerous benefits:
Prevents Painful Matting
Mats form when loose hair tangles with the coat, creating tight knots that pull on the skin. Left untreated, mats can cause skin irritation, restrict blood flow, trap moisture leading to infections, and cause significant pain.
Maintains Skin and Coat Health
Professional groomers distribute natural oils throughout the coat, remove dead hair and skin cells, and identify early signs of skin conditions. Our groomers check your dog’s skin during every appointment—often catching issues before they become serious problems.
Supports Overall Wellness Monitoring
Your groomer sees your dog every 4-8 weeks—more frequently than most veterinary visits. This regular contact means groomers often notice changes in your dog’s body, lumps, bumps, or other abnormalities that warrant veterinary attention.
Improves Comfort and Mobility
Overgrown hair can impair vision, trap debris between paw pads, and cause discomfort. Keeping hair properly trimmed around eyes, ears, paws, and sanitary areas ensures your dog remains comfortable and mobile.
