Georgia summers are hard on a dog’s coat. Between the heat, the humidity, and extra time spent outside, coats mat faster and shed more than they do the rest of the year. A recent grooming appointment at our Dunwoody salon shows exactly what a summer groom looks like from start to finish.

Why Summer Grooming Matters for Your Dog’s Coat

Heat and humidity speed up shedding and make loose fur more likely to tangle into mats, especially around the collar, legs, and belly where friction is highest. A shorter, well-maintained coat also helps dogs regulate their body temperature more easily, and it cuts down on the debris, pollen, and grass seeds that get trapped in longer fur during summer walks. Regular grooming through the season keeps mats from forming in the first place, instead of needing a dematting appointment later.

A Recent Summer Groom at Robin’s Groomingdales

Here is a look at one of our recent appointments, from settle-in to the finished groom:

Every summer groom at Robin’s Groomingdales starts with a coat and skin check, so we can flag anything worth noting (mats, hot spots, ticks) before the bath and cut. From there it is a full bath, brush-out, and a cut suited to the dog’s coat type and the owner’s preference.
