Coat Type & Length
Coat Type & Length
Coat type for ISB products: When we talk about our Iv San Bernard products being formulated for the type of coat type, we are not only concerned about the type of coat your dog has (coarse, silky, curly, wire, smooth, etc.), but also the length the DNA has said "this dog is supposed to have this amount of hair and length". The type of products and amount we use are based on these two things. This is why your Standard Poodle who is kept short, will use more product than a naturally short haired dog, like a Boxer.
Coat type in groomer words is the variety of coat textures - silky, coarse, curly, wire, smooth, etc.
Coat length in groomer words is how long the coat is when groomed.
Here at Pooch Pawlor, we use all 3 to help us find the best products for that particular dog.
