Looking to adopt a shaggy breed? From Bearded Collies to Irish Wolfhounds, long-haired, fluffy dogs make great canine companions – if you don’t mind regular trips to the groomer!
It’s important to remember that some long-haired dog breeds require daily grooming, and many shed their fur throughout the year. The average cost of dog grooming in the UK is around £43, but prices can go up to £90. If you are adopting a shaggy breed, we recommend researching grooming costs before committing.
“Shaggy dogs can have soft and smooth, curly and woolly, or rough and wavy coats. These beautiful coats often require more maintenance and grooming than other dog breeds because they are prone to matting, which can be sore,” PDSA Vet Nurse Shauna Spooner recounts country life.
“Most dogs with shaggy coats will need daily brushing to prevent this – brushing will also improve circulation and promote healthy hair growth. Bathing a shaggy dog is less important than brushing, but you can do this every one to three months using an appropriate dog shampoo.
“Make sure you rinse well with clean water, as any shampoo residue could cause dry skin and a dull coat. It’s important to start a grooming regimen when your dog is a puppy, so he can s ‘get used to the process. Make it fun and a positive experience, with lots of treats and praise.’
