Dog grooming are for all dogs, but some dogs need more grooming than others.

Baxter’s owners did not realize that their dog should be combed
frequently and completely to prevent kinks and knots caused by
intertwining of hairs or by dirt, grit, or vegetative matter in the
coat. Mats can pull tender skin and cause pain and lead to hot spots or
wounds to irritated skin and eventual infection, general skin
outbreaks, or fungus or insect invasion.

Shaving may be the only solution for felted mats, but it must be
done carefully to avoid nicking the dog or further irritating already
inflamed skin.

Breeds that need frequent grooming to prevent mats and keep their
coats healthy include Cocker Spaniel, Afghan Hound, Otterhound, Bernese
Mountain Dog, Great Pyrenees, Newfoundland, Samoyed, long-coated St.
Bernard, Maltese, English Toy Spaniel, Pomeranian, Shih Tzu, Yorkshire
Terrier, Silky Terrier, Australian Terrier, Soft Coated Wheaten
Terrier, Bichon Frisé, Chow Chow, Keeshond, Tibetan Spaniel, Tibetan
Terrier, Finnish Spitz, American Eskimo, Bearded Collie, Belgian
Tervuren, Old English Sheepdog, Collie, Briard, and Shetland Sheepdog.

However, all dogs need some grooming. Although they are unlikely to
develop mats or tangles — except around the ears or on the feathered
legs of some breeds — medium-coated and short-coated dogs do need
periodic grooming to keep coats and skin healthy. Grooming during
shedding helps move the process along, lessen the hairy tumbleweeds in
the family room, and encourage the growth of new coat.
