Bichon Frise Grooming in Lexington, MA — Golden Paws Pet Grooming

Golden Paws Pet Grooming in Lexington, MA provides professional grooming for Bichon Frises and serves clients from Lexington and more than 20 surrounding communities. The Bichon Frise has a soft, curly double coat that grows continuously and does not shed — meaning loose hair stays trapped in the curl and forms mats if not brushed and groomed consistently. Bichon coats are delicate and require a groomer with precise scissor technique and an understanding of the breed's rounded, powder-puff silhouette. The Bichon's coat is bright white, which means staining around the face and paws is visible and should be addressed at every grooming appointment. Our groomers understand the specific care this coat requires and approach every Bichon Frise appointment with the technique, patience, and attention to detail the breed demands. Call 781-274-9144 to book your Bichon Frise's appointment.

Understanding the Bichon Frise's coat

The Bichon Frise has a soft, curly double coat that grows continuously and does not shed — meaning loose hair stays trapped in the curl and forms mats if not brushed and groomed consistently. Bichon coats are delicate and require a groomer with precise scissor technique and an understanding of the breed's rounded, powder-puff silhouette. The Bichon's coat is bright white, which means staining around the face and paws is visible and should be addressed at every grooming appointment. Understanding this coat structure is essential to grooming the breed correctly — and it is why breed-specific experience matters when choosing a groomer for your Bichon Frise.

What does a Bichon Frise groom include at Golden Paws?

A Bichon Frise groom at Golden Paws includes pre-bath brush-out, bath with whitening shampoo appropriate for the Bichon's white coat, blow-dry, precise all-over scissor trim to the rounded Bichon silhouette, careful facial trim, paw trimming, ear cleaning, nail trim, and anal gland expression. We pay particular attention to the face — the round, full Bichon head shape requires careful scissor work and even blending. Every appointment is tailored to your individual dog's coat condition, skin health, and grooming history.

How often should a Bichon Frise be professionally groomed?

Bichons benefit from professional grooming every 4 to 6 weeks. Bichons' continuously growing coats mat quickly if grooming intervals are extended, and the bright white coat shows staining and soiling rapidly. Consistent 4 to 6 week appointments keep the coat healthy, white, and properly shaped. Our groomers assess the coat at every visit and will recommend any adjustments to the schedule based on your dog's individual coat condition and the time of year.

Is there anything special about grooming Bichon Frises?

tear staining is common in Bichons and requires gentle cleaning at every appointment. The staining originates from the eye discharge that accumulates in the fur around the inner corners of the eyes. We clean this area carefully at each groom and discuss at-home maintenance options with owners who want to minimize staining between visits. Our groomers are experienced with these breed-specific considerations and address them as a standard part of every Bichon Frise appointment.
