In the UK, it’s obvious that we Brits love our dogs. Some stats estimate we own around 14 million dogs as pets, who to us are part of our families. To put this into context this number represents 37% of the population from around 2022.
Just like us, our dogs need grooming to keep clean to maintain wellbeing and health. For example, brushing, bathing, being dry (your furniture and upholstery will thank you for it) and some breeds require regular clipping.
Breed-dependent, some of the UK’s most popular dogs with coats require daily attention to keep them looking their best. This means you will need to invest plenty of time on your pet or pay out the money to buy a regular spot at the local dog groomer. Having said that other breeds simply need an occasional brush or wipe down with a cloth and a bath if they happen to roll in something unpleasant.
In the UK some of the most common breeds which need regular grooming are dogs such as Labradoodle or a golden doodle also other breeds which require regular grooming are listed below.
