What Are Sanitary Trims?

Sanitary trims are a grooming technique that focuses on trimming and shaping the fur around sensitive areas of your dog’s body. These trims are essential for maintaining good hygiene, especially for breeds with thick coats or long fur that tends to mat easily. Common areas that benefit from sanitary trimming include:

Why Are Sanitary Trims Important for Your Dog?

  • Prevents Hygiene Issues: Long or thick fur around the genital area, paws, or under the tail can trap moisture, dirt, and debris, leading to unpleasant odors or even infections. Sanitary trims ensure that these areas remain clean, dry, and free from any buildup that could result in discomfort or health problems for your dog.
  • Reduces Risk of Infection: Without proper care, moisture trapped in the fur around sensitive areas can create an environment for bacteria or yeast to grow, potentially causing infections. Regular sanitary trims help reduce the risk of infections by keeping these areas clean and preventing moisture buildup.
  • Prevents Matting and Tangles: The fur around sensitive areas of your dog’s body is prone to matting and tangling, especially in dogs with long coats. Mats can be painful and difficult to remove. Sanitary trims prevent matting by removing excess fur and ensuring that the coat remains manageable and smooth, making it easier for you to maintain at home.
  • Improves Comfort: Excessive hair around the private areas, tail, and paws can be uncomfortable for your dog, particularly in hot weather. Sanitary trims keep these areas neatly trimmed, making it easier for your dog to move and feel comfortable in their own skin.

When Should You Schedule a Sanitary Trim?

  • Regular Grooming Appointments: Most dogs benefit from a sanitary trim every 4 to 6 weeks, especially if they have long or thick coats that are prone to matting or collecting debris. Regular grooming appointments ensure that your dog’s sensitive areas remain clean and well-maintained throughout the year.
  • Signs That a Sanitary Trim Is Needed: If you notice any of the following signs, it may be time to schedule a sanitary trim for your dog:
  • Foul odors around the tail, genital area, or paws
  • Mats or tangles in the fur around sensitive areas
  • Dirt or waste buildup around the private areas or paws
  • Your dog seems uncomfortable or is licking or chewing at sensitive areas excessively


If any of these symptoms occur, a sanitary trim can help address the issue and maintain your dog’s hygiene.
