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.

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)

Fall & Winter (September–February)
Frequency: Can often reduce grooming slightly, depending on your dog’s coat.
Services to Prioritize:
