Summer do time for the dogs! I usually just shave their backs for temperature sake, but Griffin’s hair was starting to form dreds, and Missy’s was getting long and scraggly, so this time I shaved them down to the toes. (I did leave their tail hair, because it was the only place that was matt free.)

I trimmed close around their faces too, just not as close as their bodies. This helped even out Griffin’s eyebrows, as he had to have a stye removed recently and the vet shaved his eyebrow for the surgery. I’m definitely not a professional groomer, but they are much happier without their winter coats as summer temps are setting in. I do recommend getting a good quality trimmer if you’re going to do your own grooming, definitely worth the investment.
