Winter Grooming Tips: Should You Trim Your Dog in Cold Weather?


As temperatures drop and winter settles in, many dog owners wonder: should I still have my dog groomed? A dog’s coat seems like the perfect protection against the cold—but is that really the case?

## The Role of a Dog’s Coat in Winter

A dog’s coat works as natural insulation. Some breeds, like Golden Retrievers and German Shepherds, grow a thick undercoat in winter that helps them stay warm. For these dogs, shaving is often not recommended, as it can remove their natural protection.

However, long-haired breeds like Labradoodles or Maltese have coats that continue to grow. Without proper grooming, these coats can develop mats that trap moisture and lead to skin problems. Snowy clumps stuck in your dog’s fur not only cause discomfort but also create a mess when you come back inside.

## Why Winter Grooming Is Sometimes Necessary

Breeds like the Shih Tzu often spend most of their time indoors where it’s warm. For these dogs, it can be better to keep their coat trimmed to a manageable length to prevent them from overheating. Regular grooming also helps prevent matting and discomfort. A professional groomer can advise what’s best based on your dog’s breed, coat type, and lifestyle.

## How to Keep Your Dog Warm After Grooming

If your dog gets a winter haircut, there are a few things you can do to keep them warm. A dog coat or sweater can help—especially for small or short-haired breeds like Chihuahuas. Also, make sure your dog is thoroughly dry after walking in the rain or snow—nobody likes cold, wet feet, including your dog!

## Conclusion: It Depends on Coat Type and Lifestyle

Whether or not to groom your dog in winter depends on their coat and daily routine. It’s not a simple yes or no—it’s about finding the right balance between protection and proper care. Keeping the coat clean and well-maintained helps your dog stay healthy and comfortable, no matter the season.
