She does always look scruffy though and I'm wondering whether or not I should have her professionally groomed, not clipped, just tidied up maybe shaped round the face? I don't want to delay her hair growth even more but I wondered whether a trim might help it grow longer, faster as it does ours? She is just starting to get a parting down her back too  a great milestone!!! Her hair gets quite greasy too. I bath her every 10-14 days, I have been using Tresemme shampoo and Tresemme conditioner but I think I'm going to swap to Greenfield (from our vets) because her skin gets alittle flaky. Any advice on how best to get her to a full coat and maintain it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance |
You might want to bath her more often maybe once a week and do not use human products on your dog, the shampoo is not PH balanced for a dog. Use something gentle and be sure to condition after and rinse well. Flaky skin can also be caused by what you feed your dog.
