HAIRCUT & STYLING
Luxury Pet Grooming gives your dog a professional haircut and styling according to your specifications. There are a variety that fit the needs of different breeds. The type you choose can make all the difference in how your pup looks and feels. Regular grooming is necessary to avoid tangles, control shedding, and keep fur shiny and healthy.
Puppy Cut
Although the name suggests this cut is specifically for puppies, dogs of any age can get a puppy cut. It’s a simple trim that leaves them with an even coat, typically one to two inches in length, all around the body. It can be done on any dog breed with medium to long hair, and it’s perfect for keeping fur from getting matted.
Teddy Bear Cut
Teddy bear cuts are similar to puppy cuts in that they involve an even cut around the whole body. The only difference is that they’re geared more towards curly-haired dogs like poodles and Labradoodles, which are more prone to tangles. This hairstyle is low-maintenance compared to some other haircuts that are given to dogs with curly fur.
Poodle Cut
This haircut is ideal for any dog with curly hair. It keeps the fur short along the body and leaves more at the top of the head and around the neck. This style is perfect for keeping curls looking bouncy and fresh without becoming tangled, but it does require more upkeep than some other poodle haircuts.
Lamb Cut
Another option for dogs with curly hair is the lamb cut. The fur is cut shorter around the torso and chest, leaving most of it on the legs and trimming it around the chin. It’s a great all-year-round option for curly-haired dogs. During the summer months, dogs with lamb cuts will need to shed some fur to stay cool, and during the colder months, the extra fur on their legs helps keep their limbs warm.
Top Knot
The top knot is a dog hairstyle most suitable for posh pooches like Shih-Tzus and Yorkshire Terriers. It involves forming a ponytail at the top of a dog’s head that’s often held in place with a cute bow or stylish barrette. Top knots keep these breeds’ long, flowing hair off their eyes and their fur free of moisture or debris while they’re eating, drinking, or playing.
Kennel Cut
Kennel cuts can be done on pretty much any dog. Just like puppy cuts and teddy bear cuts, the length of the fur is kept the same throughout the body. The difference with a kennel cut is that the fur is cut shorter than the other two. This is a perfect hairstyle for busy pet parents because it’s so easy to maintain and it lasts longer than most other haircuts.
Lion Cut
Lion cuts are a unique type of hairstyle that only certain dog breeds can pull off. Unless you have the right face for it, it might look funny! A lion cut involves shaving or significantly trimming body hair and leaving more fur around the face, legs, and tip of the furry tail. This hairstyle is popular with Portuguese water dogs, Lowchens, and Pomeranians, to name just a few.
Summer Cut
Summer cuts look different on different breeds. Canines are able to stay cool by panting, sweating, and shedding. Their fur acts as insulation, which can overheat a pup in hot weather. Dogs with heavy, thick fur, like Newfoundlands and Saint Bernards, can benefit from getting rid of extra layers to make their coat lighter so they feel more comfortable.
Neaten Up
This type of cut requires very little effort, but it can make a huge difference in a dog’s appearance. This isn’t so much a style as it is a clean-up. A groomer uses clippers around the feet, face, private parts, and, for longer-haired dogs, their skirts. Since neatening is so simple and common, it can help virtually any breed of dog to look and feel well groomed.
Party Animal
For pup parents who want their dog’s look to express their inner party animal, an unconventional haircut and styling may be just the ticket! You’ll have to let your groomer be really creative to cut and coif your pooch in a manner that suits you and your ultra hip canine companion.
