I've been reading many posts about grooming, but I don't think I found an answer to my question.
Oakley's 1st birthday is coming up and I still haven't taken him to the groomers because I want to grow out his hair. I bathe him once a week (he spends alot of time outdoors) and I brush him out daily. Is it bad if I do not trim his hair? I do trim his nails, ears and butt, but otherwise have not cut the rest of his body. I want his hair to grow out but is not trimming a bad idea?
I'd appreciate any input.
Thanks! |
Gosh no trimming doesn't make it grow or not grow. Keeping it clean as you are is very important for hair growth. Keeping it mat free also helps as you lose coat when you have to demat. And of course, use a good conditioner after shampooing.
You didn't mention what kind of coat he has? Is it a silk coat which I would assume it is as soft coats will usually grow very quickly.
Different dogs will grow coat at different rates, some are fast growing some are slower.
