Choosing the Right Grooming Style for Your Dog’s Breed and Lifestyle

When it comes to grooming your dog, it’s not just about looking cute (although that’s a bonus!). The right grooming style plays an essential role in keeping your pup healthy, comfortable, and happy — especially in Dubai’s hot and dusty climate. At Bath and Bubbles, we understand that every dog is different, and our mobile pet grooming team tailors each session to suit both your dog’s breed and their lifestyle.

Here’s how to choose the right grooming style for your furry friend.

Why Grooming Styles Matter

Grooming is more than a haircut — it impacts your dog’s skin health, hygiene, coat manageability, and even their ability to cool down. Some dogs need frequent trims to prevent matting, while others benefit from tidy-ups to avoid overheating or collecting dust and debris during walks.

🐶 Grooming for Popular Dog Breeds in Dubai

Pomeranians: Keep it Light and Fluffy

Pomeranians have dense double coats that require frequent brushing and maintenance. While a full shave isn’t recommended (it can damage their coat texture), styles like a “teddy bear trim” or neatening around the legs, tail, and neck keep them tidy and cool without compromising their coat’s health.

Best for: Indoor pups with daily brushing and regular trims to manage shedding.

Toy Poodles: Style Meets Function

Toy poodles are known for their curly, fast-growing coats. Their grooming needs are high-maintenance but allow for fun, stylish cuts. Classic poodle trims, short summer cuts, or “puppy cuts” are popular for keeping them fresh and manageable.

Best for: Active pups or those who play outdoors — a shorter cut keeps dirt and knots at bay.

Maltese: Tame the Silky Coat

The silky, fine coat of a Maltese can easily tangle. Regular trims help prevent matting and skin irritation. A puppy cut (short all over) is a great option for easy upkeep, while longer styles work well with owners committed to daily brushing.

Best for: Lap dogs or low-activity pups — but short styles are great for summer comfort.

Match Your Dog’s Grooming to Their Lifestyle

Even dogs of the same breed may need different grooming routines based on how they live.

Here’s how lifestyle plays a role:

• Outdoor adventurers: Dogs who spend time outside should get shorter, practical cuts to prevent mats and dirt buildup. Think: short but not shaved.

• Indoor loungers: Longer styles can work if you’re brushing regularly and maintaining cleanliness indoors.

• Sensitive skin or Allergies: Dogs prone to irritation may benefit from minimal trimming with special attention to hygiene areas and using natural grooming products like WildWash.

• Older dogs: Senior dogs often benefit from simplified grooming styles and shorter sessions to reduce stress.
