Summer has arrived, and with it comes one of the busiest—and most misunderstood—times of the year in pet grooming.

In this episode of The Enchanted Grooming Table, Stephenie and Brenda dive into the realities of summer coat care, discussing what actually helps pets stay comfortable in the heat and what common grooming advice may be doing more harm than good. From shaving myths and double coats to deshedding, heat safety, and client expectations, they explore the science behind coat function and how groomers can help pet owners make informed decisions.

The conversation also covers hot pavement, tick prevention, sunburn risks, comfort grooming, senior pet considerations, and the challenges of balancing professional recommendations with owner requests. Along the way, they share updates from the grooming school, discuss changes within the grooming industry, and reflect on the importance of education in an age of misinformation.
