- Short-haired dogs: Every 8-12 weeks
- Long-haired dogs: Every 4-6 weeks
- Cats: Every 6-8 weeks (many cats need less frequent grooming)
- Puppies/Kittens: Start with short sessions every 2-3 weeks for acclimation
Regular brushing at home between professional grooming can extend the time between appointments.
