Spring has sprung! While many of us welcome the sunshine and warmer temperatures, it’s also a time to transition your dog’s grooming routine for the new season. District Dogs and The Dog Spa, your trusted providers for expert dog grooming in DC and Alexandria, are here to help!
Shedding Season is Here!
As winter coats come off, you’ll likely notice more fur around the house. Brushing is key! Regular brushing (daily for long-haired dogs, every few days for medium, and weekly for short-haired) removes loose fur and prevents matting. A well-brushed coat also sheds less indoors. Remember to brush in the direction of fur growth, and if you encounter mats, leave detangling to a professional groomer.
Keep Your Pup Cool and Comfortable
Spring and summer call for shorter haircuts. Not only does this make it easier to spot fleas, ticks, and skin problems, but it also helps prevent your dog from overheating. A shorter coat also means quicker drying after those springtime adventures. However, shorter fur exposes your pup to more sun, so keep an eye out for sunburn, especially on lighter-colored coats.
Soothe Winter Dry Skin
Winter weather can be harsh on your dog’s skin. If your furry friend suffered from dryness, a bath with a moisturizing shampoo can help alleviate the issue. District Dogs and The Dog Spa uses gentle, high-quality products to pamper your pup and restore their coat’s health.
Pawsitively Spring Ready Paws
Don’t forget about your dog’s paws! Spring and summer mean more outdoor adventures, and long paw hair can collect dirt, sticks, and other debris, leading to discomfort. Keeping paw hair trimmed allows for better traction and prevents painful situations. Our groomers can take care of this for you during your pup’s next grooming appointment.
