Start with the coat
Curly coats can be shaped. Double coats should be de-shed, not shaved. Wiry coats keep their texture with a neat tidy.
Think about upkeep
Longer and fuller looks lovely but needs more brushing. Shorter is easier to keep tidy at home.
Think about the season
Many owners go a little shorter in summer and leave the coat longer through the colder months.
Keep them comfortable
A clear face, tidy feet and clean hygiene areas matter more than any style.
Bring a photo
A picture of a finish you like, even of another pet, is the quickest way to show us what you mean.
Your next conversation
Tell us about their last groom, how they handle and the finish you have in mind, or call us on (202) 555-0115. We’ll plan their visit with you.
