Every pup is a work of heart—but their coat? That’s where the grooming story begins. Whether you’re enchanted by velvety sleekness or wild, woolly curls, each coat type brings its own rhythm to care, cost, and personality. In this guide, we’ll spotlight one breed from each coat category and break down the grooming needs, vet expenses, and what to expect when you welcome them into your life.

Double Coat – Example Breed: Siberian Husky

✨ Pros:

• Striking appearance with thick, plush fur and expressive eyes.
• Independent and playful with high endurance—great for active families.
• Built for cold weather, but adaptable with proper coat care.

⚠️ Cons:

• Double-coated dogs like Huskies require frequent full grooms, especially in Ohio’s unpredictable climate.
  While breed standards suggest seasonal blowouts, real-world experience shows that Huskies often shed heavily multiple times a year due to dramatic weather shifts.
• Without proper brushing, their undercoat can mat, trap moisture, and lead to skin issues.
• Can be stubborn and escape-prone; not ideal for first-time dog owners.

🧠 Pro Tip from Vroom Grooms LLC:
Most double-coated dogs need a full groom every 8–10 weeks, with daily or weekly brush-outs at home.
Brushing helps spread natural oils, stimulates healthy coat growth, and builds trust between dog and owner—turning grooming into a bonding ritual, not a scary chore.
