(Commonwealth Union)_ Our pups need a little pampering after a long day of chasing squirrels, barking at strangers, collecting crumbs under the kitchen table, or playing with toys. That can signify a variety of things, including a grooming appointment.
Different grooming techniques cater to the demands of various dog breeds, and the sort of cut a dog owner selects can make a significant difference in how their dog looks and feels. Regular grooming of a dog’s coat is required to eliminate tangles, control shedding, and maintain fur lustrous and healthy, all of which improve the general health and cleanliness of our canine friends.
Check out this list of the most frequent dog haircuts, which breeds they work best on, and the benefits you get with each style to choose one that will make your dog feel like a million bucks.
Puppy cut
Although the name implies that this cut is intended for young puppies, dogs of any age can get a puppy cut. It’s a straightforward cut that leaves dogs with an even coat that’s one to two inches long all around. It’s one of the most popular grooming styles since it can be done on any dog breed with medium to long hair and is ideal for keeping fur from becoming matted. Nonetheless, despite its popularity, this design is not standardised and leaves room for improvisation. If you know precisely how you want your puppy’s haircut to look, make sure you notify your groomer.
Teddy bear cut
Teddy bear cuts, like puppy cuts, entail an even cut all the way around the body. The only difference is that they are designed for curly-haired dogs such as Poodles, Labradoodles, Goldendoodles, and any other -oodle you can think of! Dogs with curly fur are more prone to tangles, so pet parents should periodically cut these curls to maintain them healthy and neat. This hairdo is low-maintenance in comparison to other haircuts for dogs with curly fur, which is why it is so popular among Poodle and Poodle-mix owners. Professional groomers recommend getting a teddy bear cut once a month to preserve it in good condition but cuts every six to eight weeks would sufficient if you don’t mind a messy hair day now and again!
Top knot
The top knot is a classy dog haircut best suited for Shih-Tzus, Maltese, Yorkshire Terriers, and Lhasa Apsos. It entails creating a ponytail at the top of a dog’s head, which is sometimes secured in place with a charming bow or elegant barrette. Top knots keep these breeds’ long, flowing hair out of their eyes and their coats free of moisture and dirt when they eat, drink, or play. The rest of the dog’s fur depends on the breed, but because this is a very clean and polished look, it’s kept very nice and even. You may even see some puppies sporting this look at dog shows!
