If you’ve ever thought, “My dog has short hair—do they really need to go to a grooming salon?” — you’re not alone. It’s a common question, but the answer is a clear yes!
While short-haired dogs may not need regular haircuts like their long-haired friends, grooming is still essential for their skin health, coat condition, and overall well-being.
Why Groom Short-Haired Dogs?
1. Healthy Skin Needs Hydration
Just like us, dogs’ skin can get dry—especially in Boise’s climate. Regular baths with moisturizing shampoos (like we use at Pet Spa Boise!) help prevent flakiness and irritation. We also use coat-friendly conditioners and finishing sprays to lock in moisture.
2. Natural Oils Matter
Short-haired dogs still produce natural oils that need to be evenly distributed through brushing and bathing. Without grooming, these oils can build up or dry out, leading to dull coats or itchy skin.
3. Shedding Happens!
Many short-haired breeds shed year-round. Our deshedding treatments can significantly reduce loose hair, keeping your home cleaner and your pup more comfortable.
4. Nail, Ear, and Skin Care
Grooming isn’t just about baths. We check and clean ears, buff nails, and watch for skin issues that could otherwise go unnoticed.
Consistent Care = Happy Dog
At Pet Spa Boise, we specialize in Fear Free Certified grooming—so even your most anxious pup will feel safe and loved during their visit. Short-haired breeds like Boxers, Frenchies, and Labs deserve that same level of care, pampering, and maintenance as their fluffier friends.
