GroomQuoteMedium coat grooming guide
Medium coats have real length and feathering on the ears, legs, and tail, but not enough to mat as fast as a long or curly coat. They sit in between short and long coats on both time and price.
Care and maintenance
Regular trims keep feathering from tangling, especially behind the ears and around the paws where friction and moisture build up. Brushing those feathered areas once or twice a week at home stretches out how long a trim holds its shape.
How often to groom
Every 6-8 weeks to keep feathering and length manageable.
Price impact
A medium coat typically adds $11 on top of the base groom price for a dog's size, to account for the extra brushing, bathing, and trim time it needs.
