Dog Grooming Tips for Seattle Pet Owners

Keeping your dog clean, comfortable, and looking their best is easier with the right routine. Here are practical tips from the team at Doggie STYLE Seattle.

Brush Regularly

Regular brushing prevents mats and removes loose fur and dirt before a bath. Dogs with longer or double coats may need daily brushing, while short-haired breeds can be brushed weekly.

Watch the Coat Type

How often your dog needs a groom depends on coat type, frequency of visits and size. Some breeds need a professional groom every 6–8 weeks; we'll help you find the right schedule for your pup.

Use the Right Shampoo

Always use a soothing, dog-safe shampoo. Tell us about any skin sensitivities and we'll recommend the right product to help your dog look and feel their best.

Keep Nails in Check

Regular nail trims keep paws healthy and prevent discomfort. Same-day $5 nail trims are available at our Seattle salon — just call ahead to reserve a table.

Allow Proper Drying

Drying is essential to keep skin healthy and prevent moisture-related irritation. That's why each dog remains in our care for a minimum of 5 hours to ensure proper drying of their coat.

Ask About De-matting

If your dog develops mats, don't wait — matting can be uncomfortable. De-matting is done at the groomer's discretion and is never done in a way that makes your animal uncomfortable.
