Grooming my Sprocket

Howdy! We live in the Chicagoland area, with snow and bitter cold in the winter months (pretty much Nov-April  ). I used slickers on both Quincy and Oscar all year round, and they were kept in a 2 - 3 inch puppy cut. The slicker does strip out the undercoat, but IMHO, the undercoat was the biggest contributor to mats. The only thing that ever got cold on either dog was their paws. Otherwise, they wanted to stay outside and rest in a snowbank! Now my dogs were only outside for their walks, or when we would sit out with them, so it was never for an extended period of time in the winter. My rule of thumb - if I was cold with all of my winter gear on, then it was too cold for them as well. Unless Dylan spends long periods of time outside, I wouldn't worry about stripping out the undercoat. My slickers lasted years though. Hope this helps! Laurie |
