Grooming

Grooming is an important part of your dogs health and their relationship with you. A well groomed dog will look better and be more comfortable.

Whether you groom your dog yourself, or have a professional groomer do it, we have resources for you. 

If you just want a guide to the shape of the clips, or your groomer needs help making your PWD look like a PWD, the laminated grooming chart is color coded to show exactly how to cut both a lion or retriever clip.

Besides trimming, there are a couple of key factors that will help keep your PWDs coat in great condition.

• Don't let it get out of hand. It's much harder to get a coat back in shape, than it is to maintain it in the first place.  If you notice a mat forming get it out now, before it gets worse. There are products and tools to make that job easier. 
• Keep your dog in good health. Poor nutrition can easily be reflected in a coat that is dry and dull looking or itchy skin. If you see a change in your dog's coat without other explanation you might try changing their food. Poor coat condition can also be a reflection of underlying health problems so if good care isn't clearing up the problem you might want to check with your Vet.
