When the weather hits those dreaded triple digits, there is one thing you can absolutely count on: my hair is going up in a ponytail. From June through October, there is no chance you will catch me wearing my hair down. I do not want a single strand touching the back of my neck, which is exactly why I cannot imagine what summer must feel like for dogs covered head to toe in fur.
And unlike humans, dogs cannot exactly throw their hair up, crank the AC, cool off with an iced coffee, and call it a day. They rely heavily on summer grooming to keep them comfortable, healthy, and happy during the hottest months of the year.
Thankfully, The Dog House is here to help keep our furry friends cool, comfortable, and looking their best all summer long. From baths and deshedding treatments to nail trims and summer cuts, regular grooming does much more than freshen up your pup. It helps remove excess undercoat, prevents painful matting, keeps skin healthy, and can even help catch issues like hot spots, ticks, or irritation before they turn into bigger problems.
And let’s be honest, dogs tend to get a little extra funky during the summer. Between swimming, rolling around in grass, dirt, and mud, and somehow always finding the worst smell imaginable in the backyard, regular baths start feeling a lot less optional and a whole lot more necessary, especially with the extra sweat.
One of the biggest misconceptions during summer is that shaving every dog is automatically the best option. In reality, many breeds rely on their coats for insulation and protection from the heat and sun. The team at The Dog House can help determine what type of grooming is safest and healthiest for each individual dog, rather than going straight for the shortest cut possible.
At The Dog House, dogs are treated like family from the moment they walk through the door. Whether you have a tiny lap dog who needs a spa day or a giant fluff ball shedding enough fur to build you a winter coat, the team works hard to make sure every pup leaves feeling comfortable, clean, and looking their best.

The truth is, summer is a whole lot more enjoyable when your dog feels good too. Whether your pup needs a quick bath, a fresh haircut, or just a little extra help getting through shedding season, The Dog House is ready to help your four-legged family member stay cool, comfortable, and feeling their best this summer.
