Dog Grooming During Hot Weather in Stoke-on-Trent – Keeping Your Dog Comfortable This Summer

With temperatures forecast to reach around 27–28°C next week across Stoke-on-Trent, many dogs can quickly become uncomfortable in the heat — especially if their coat is heavily matted, thick, or overdue a groom.

At Paw Shine Dog Groomers in Baddeley Green, we focus on calm, one-to-one dog grooming designed around comfort and welfare, helping dogs stay happy and comfortable during the warmer months.

Why Dog Grooming Is Important During Hot Weather

Many people think grooming is only about keeping dogs looking tidy, but regular grooming is extremely important during summer.

A properly maintained coat allows better airflow and helps dogs regulate their temperature more effectively. Thick matting and impacted fur can trap heat close to the skin, making dogs far more uncomfortable during hot weather.

Professional dog grooming can help:

• Remove excess dead coat

• Prevent painful matting

• Improve airflow through the coat

• Keep dogs cleaner and more comfortable

• Reduce overheating risks in warmer temperatures

This is especially important for:

• Cockapoos

• Cavapoos

• Golden Doodles

• Spaniels

• Long-haired breeds

• Double-coated breeds

• Senior dogs

Matted Coats Can Become Very Uncomfortable

During hot weather, matted coats can trap heat, moisture, dirt, and bacteria close to the skin. Severe matting can also pull tightly on the skin, causing discomfort when dogs walk or lie down.

Regular brushing at home combined with professional grooming appointments helps keep coats manageable throughout summer.

At Paw Shine Dog Groomers, we always put welfare first and will advise honestly on the best grooming plan for your dog’s comfort.
