🍂🐾 Growing your dog’s coat out for winter? Don’t skip the groom completely!
We hear it every fall:
“It’s getting cold, so I’m going to let their hair grow out.”
And that’s totally fine! The problem is what can happen while that coat is growing.
Longer coats + wet fall weather + eventually snow, sweaters and winter gear = a much higher chance of matting.
And once a coat becomes severely matted, there may not be enough coat left to safely brush out or save. That’s how we end up having to shave dogs short right in the middle of freezing winter weather — exactly what everyone was trying to avoid! 🥶
✂️ That’s where a Bath & Tidy comes in.
A Bath & Tidy is the perfect maintenance appointment while you’re growing out your dog’s coat. We can:
🐾 Thoroughly bathe, dry & brush out the coat
🐾 Remove loose/dead coat before it tangles
🐾 Clean up the face, feet & sanitary areas
🐾 Catch knots and tangles before they turn into mats
🐾 Keep that longer winter coat clean, comfortable and manageable
You don’t have to choose between a full haircut and skipping grooming altogether.
Let the coat grow — just maintain it while it does. 💜
📅 Book your dog’s Bath & Tidy at The Barker Shop and help keep that fluffy winter coat fluffy!
