The whole world is moving in the direction of naturalness and environmental friendliness. This also affects fashion trends in the field of grooming. Instead of extravagant hairstyles, a growing niche is occupied by practical haircuts with an emphasis on daily care.
Silky, shiny, moisturized wool – this is what will be in trend not only in 2024, but also in the future. So let’s look at the most popular haircuts that will help your pet to be not only beautiful, but also healthy and well-groomed.
The most popular haircuts for dogs in 2024: how to emphasize the beauty of each breed
Always remember that the best haircut is the one that suits your dog. That is, you need to look not only at trends, but also at the type of coat, health characteristics, nutrition, activity level and the amount of time you can devote to caring for it.
For spitz, for example, regular brushing is important, because it is long, thick and soft. We are glad that more and more owners are choosing the classic breed haircut, leaving the haircut under the Boo bag, which scared the whole world, a thing of the past. Thick, shiny wool is in fashion now, which groomers expertly round on the chest and bottom, emphasizing voluminous figures.
Yorkies can choose practical short haircuts, paying a lot of attention to the face. Top note, Mickey Mouse ears, long braids or shaved ¾ ears can make your pet unique.
A lion haircut will suit Bichons well, because the fur on the body is cut, and the head is made into a continuous layer, hiding the ears in it. If you like a voluminous mane, you can choose the optimal hair length for the entire body with a groomer and get a harmonious result.
Maltipoos can have different types of hair, which affects the choice of the best haircut. If your pet has a thick, curly coat, then haircuts with voluminous paws and head may be just the “gem” you are looking for. If the wool is more even and thin, then you can choose flare legs and long ears.
If you are ready to regularly take care of the condition of the shih tzu’s coat, then its color can be long hair, which can be collected into beautiful hairstyles with the use of accessories. Otherwise, you can choose a haircut for a puppy, which will not cause too much trouble and will minimize the number of swallows.
Description of fashionable dog haircuts in 2024
Despite the peculiarities of each breed of dog, nevertheless, you can single out universal types of haircuts that you may like.
The puppy cut is easy to maintain and effective in keeping the coat clean. It is characterized by the fact that the fur remains fluffy, soft and voluminous, like a puppy. The length of the wool can be selected with a groomer depending on the temperature regime of your area.
The “lion” cut involves cutting the fur on the trunk and legs as short as possible. The muzzle and chest in a smooth transition form a long mane like a lion. The tail can be both fluffy and with a brush on the tip.
With the “bear” haircut, the groomer selects the optimal length of the fur to obtain a plush effect and flattens the head. This softens the dog’s face and makes it look like a teddy bear.
The “lamb” haircut involves a short haircut of the whole body with long hair on the legs. The result can resemble a sheared lamb and is extremely cute, but you need to take into account the temperature of your area.
The “modern” haircut consists in shaving the face, paws and tail (we leave the brush on the tip), and the body is cut to one length. An oval crown and long ears are decorated on the head. This haircut is an unchanging favorite among poodle owners.
The “princess” haircut is quite difficult to care for, but will not leave anyone indifferent. The groomer cuts the wool in such a way that the bottom remains long, forming a kind of skirt. The ears can be left the same length. It will look especially effective on spaniels and West Highland White Terriers.
How to choose the perfect haircut for a dog
More and more owners are becoming interested in how to reduce hair loss, how to minimize shedding, how to properly dry and comb the hair after a walk. And these questions are very important. After all, knowing the answers, taking into account the individual characteristics of the dog, your daily routine, you can choose the haircut that will be ideal for you.
It should be remembered that the main goal of any grooming is regular, proper care, thanks to which the dog will not feel discomfort and live its best life. Therefore, a haircut should perform the following functions: clean the fur and skin of dirt, fill the fur structure with useful substances to prevent split ends, remove the hair that spoils not only the condition of the fur, but also affects the condition of the skin and the good well-being of the dog, emphasize the advantages and hide the disadvantages , to facilitate daily hair care.
Let’s consider the factors that affect the choice of a haircut:
Wool. It plays a key role in thermoregulation, so you should choose a haircut in such a way that this function is not affected. For example, dogs with a double type of undercoat are not cut and only need intensive periodic brushing. If your pet has a long, falling coat and this is its color, you can stop at a regular hygienic haircut with combing to keep the coat in good condition and get rid of the problem of mangles. Otherwise, you can consider options for short haircuts, but you should remember that with a haircut that is too short, the effect of ultraviolet rays on the skin and the risk of pigmentation increase.
Health status. Sometimes the state of health can affect the choice of haircut. This is due to the fact that dogs may require more careful monitoring of skin condition, joint mobility, coat color changes due to allergic reactions, etc. Also, a haircut can help solve an aesthetic problem after a visit to the vet for an ultrasound or a course of drips.
Food. Each owner independently chooses a diet for his pet. It can consist of dry fodder, wet fodder, pastes, natural food, treats. The choice is huge. Therefore, the method of feeding should be taken into account when choosing a haircut.
For example, your pet has long fur, but due to the consumption of wet food or pastes, it begins to change color, spoiling the general appearance. What shall I do? You can choose one of the following options: wash the muzzle after every meal, preventing it from drying out, or give preference to a short haircut.
Daily activity. If you actively walk in nature with a dog, then a long haircut may not suit you. After all, it is difficult to then comb the pet, remove all burdock root and examine the skin in detail for the presence of ticks. You should consult with a groomer to choose the optimal length of the coat without harming thermoregulation.
The amount of time you can devote to caring for your dog
It is important to remember that dogs are very social creatures and need a lot of attention, love and time. This also applies to care, which should be regular and systematic. If you have enough time to monitor the condition of the dog’s coat, prevent the formation of matted hair, dry it after every bath, then you can safely choose any haircut, because it will be easy for you to maintain it in good condition. Otherwise, you can choose a short haircut, visit the salon every two weeks and avoid all these troubles.
If you saw a nice photo on the Internet and do not know whether this haircut will suit your pet, or doubt which one to choose, you can always contact a groomer. It will help not only to find the best option, but also to explain why this or that haircut, which you liked so much, cannot be done. Remember that the groomer has extensive experience working with animals, understands coat types and anatomy, takes into account the health and age of the dog. However, do not be afraid to express your opinion, speak your wishes and ask questions, if something is unclear or bothers you, report the recommendations and warnings of the veterinarian. With proper communication and complete information about your pet, you will always get the best result.
