Top Grooming Tips for Different Dog Breeds

Tailored Grooming for Every Pup – Because They Deserve the Best!

At Barks and Recreations, we know that no two dogs are alike—especially when it comes to grooming! Whether your pup is a high-energy herder, a sporty retriever, or a perfectly pampered poodle mix, we tailor every grooming experience to meet their specific coat type, lifestyle, and personality.

De-Shedding for Herding and Sporting Dogs

Herding breeds like Australian Shepherds, Border Collies, and German Shepherds—and sporting dogs like Labs and Golden Retrievers—are known for their thick undercoats that shed with the seasons (or let’s be honest, year-round!). Our de-shed bath service starts with a gentle, skin-soothing soak using high-quality deshedding shampoo and conditioner. Then we follow up with a high-velocity blowout and thorough brushing to remove loose undercoat and reduce shedding at home. This not only keeps your house cleaner, it helps your pup stay cooler and more comfortable, too!

On-Trend Grooms for Doodles, Shih Tzus, Poodles, Yorkies & Mixes

Designer pups and small-breed sweethearts deserve grooms as unique as they are. Our groomers are trained in the latest breed-specific and trending styles, whether you love the fluffy teddy bear look for your doodle, a clean topknot and tidy face on your Shih Tzu, or the timeless elegance of a poodle cut. We also specialize in manageable pet trims for mixes—whatever your pup’s coat type, we’ll make sure they leave looking fresh, stylish, and 100% adorable.

Regular grooming keeps your dog’s coat healthy and mat-free, and we work with you to find the right schedule and look for your lifestyle. We’re happy to chat through options at drop-off or during your first visit!

Skirt Trims for Schnauzers: Sharp, Clean, and Classic

Schnauzers have one of the most distinctive looks in the dog world, and keeping that classic skirt and leg feathering tidy makes all the difference. We pay special attention to trimming and shaping their skirt to maintain that sharp, clean silhouette while still allowing for practical playtime. Whether your schnauzer is a showpiece or a backyard explorer, we’ll keep their coat in top form with balanced grooming that respects the breed standard while adapting to your pup’s lifestyle.
