Fluffy dogs are breeds recognized for their thick, soft coats that give them a plush, teddy-bear look. Many have long or double coats that provide insulation, but also require regular grooming to stay healthy and mat-free. Fluffy dog breeds range from small companion pets to large working dogs, with shedding that can vary from moderate to very heavy depending on the breed and season. Fluffy dogs are loved for their cuddly appearance, but they are best suited to owners who are prepared for routine brushing, seasonal shedding, and ongoing coat care.
