Introduction
Living in North Texas means hot summers, unpredictable allergens, and plenty of outdoor adventures for our four-legged companions. But how often should you groom your dog to keep them healthy, clean, and comfortable?
Whether you're in McKinney, Frisco, or Allen, the answer depends on your dog's breed, coat type, and lifestyle—but also on the Texas climate and seasonal grooming needs. As professional mobile groomers, we’re here to break it all down and help you create the perfect grooming schedule for your pup.

Seasonal Grooming Needs in Texas
☀️ Spring & Summer (March–August)
Frequency: Increase to prevent matting, manage shedding, and support flea & tick prevention.
Services to Prioritize:
- Flea & tick shampoo treatments
- Light trims to help with heat
- Nail trims (dogs walk more outside = faster nail growth)
Pro Tip: Schedule more frequent grooms in summer to avoid overheating and manage allergens.
Fall & Winter (September–February)
Frequency: Can often reduce grooming slightly, depending on your dog's coat.
Services to Prioritize:
- Moisturizing shampoos to combat dry skin
