Dogs with continuously growing hair (Poodles, Doodles, Shih Tzus) need grooming every 4-6 weeks. Double-coated breeds (Labs, Huskies) benefit from professional de-shedding every 8-12 weeks. Short-haired breeds can go 8-12 weeks between sessions but still need regular nail trims.

Bring vaccination records — most Fairfield County salons require proof of rabies and bordetella. Puppies can start as early as 12-16 weeks.
