How often should a senior dog be groomed?

Senior dogs often benefit from more frequent grooming than they required as adults — particularly as their self-grooming ability declines. A dog previously groomed every 8 weeks may need appointments every 5–6 weeks in their senior years. For nail trimming specifically, senior dogs with reduced activity typically need trimming every 3–4 weeks. See our general grooming FAQ: How often should I have my pet groomed?
