American Akita

American Akita: full grooming every 6–8 weeks. Between visits: bath (no haircut) every 3–4 weeks (during shedding season).

Two or three times a week with an undercoat rake or slicker. Daily for 10–15 minutes during shedding season. During shedding season, dead undercoat stays in the coat, the dog overheats and itches, so it needs brushing out every day. Outside shedding season, a brush once a week is enough.

Don’t cut or pull them out at home: it hurts and damages the coat. Bring your pet to us: small mats we gently work out; a heavily felted coat we clip short and it grows back. To keep mats away: two or three times a week with an undercoat rake or slicker. Daily for 10–15 minutes during shedding season.

Yes, very heavily — twice a year.

From four months: once all vaccinations are done and two weeks have passed since the last one. Before that, it’s up to the breeder, or to you at home, to get the puppy used to the comb and the bath.

On a dog’s or cat’s first visit to our salon, Royal SPA, full grooming (including hand stripping) and cat services are 20% cheaper. A dog bath without a haircut, nails, mat removal and the individual service are not discounted. No code needed: the front desk applies it at payment. There is a second discount too: −10% on the next visit when you book it in the salon right after the service. Discounts don’t combine.
