Book Ahead & Stay Fresh: Winter Grooming Tips for a Happy, Healthy Pup

When the temperatures drop, so does everyone’s grooming routine — but your dog still needs regular care! Winter grooming keeps coats healthy, skin hydrated, and paws protected through the coldest months. Whether you have a snow-loving Bernese Mountain Dog or a couch-loving senior pup, consistent grooming keeps them feeling good inside and out.

❄️ Why Winter Grooming Is So Important

Coat Health & Comfort A clean, brushed coat acts as natural insulation. Mats trap moisture and cold air, making dogs colder, not warmer.

Skin Care During Dry Months Cold air and indoor heat dry out skin. Moisturizing shampoos and conditioners restore hydration and soothe irritation.

Matt-Free = Warm & Protected A mat-free coat allows better air circulation and prevents discomfort or hidden sores.

Paw & Nail Care Salt, snow, and ice can cause cracks and irritation. Regular trims and paw balm protect from painful dryness.

Hygiene Still Matters Even in winter, oils and dirt build up. Routine baths and trims prevent odor and skin irritation.
