Washtenaw County Weather: Honest Pros and Cons for Teddy Bear Owners
Winter
Washtenaw County averages 30 to 40 inches of snow per year. The Teddy Bear’s plush, wavy coat provides genuine cold insulation — a meaningful advantage over single-coated breeds during Michigan winters. Shorter cold-weather walks fully satisfy the breed.
Summer
Ann Arbor summers are warm and humid from June through August with July highs in the upper 80s°F. The Teddy Bear’s dense coat retains heat — morning and evening scheduling is standard from mid-June through August. Gallup Park’s Huron River corridor provides meaningful summer shade relief.
Heartworm Risk — Year-Round Prevention Required
Michigan is a heartworm-risk state. Washtenaw County’s Huron River corridor and wetlands sustain mosquito populations through the warmer months. Your Ann Arbor vet will recommend a monthly preventative — discuss the appropriate protocol at your 48-to-72-hour wellness exam.
Grooming Cost in Ann Arbor
Professional grooming every 4 to 6 weeks at approximately $55 to $80 per session. Consistent daily home care is non-negotiable between appointments.

Three Things Every Ann Arbor Teddy Bear Owner Must Accept Before Day One
Daily grooming is permanent. The Teddy Bear coat grows continuously and tangles in 48 hours without daily maintenance. A slicker brush and steel comb every single day. Professional grooming every 4 to 6 weeks at $55 to $80 per session in Ann Arbor.
Dental disease is the #1 long-term health cost. The Shih Tzu jaw is small, teeth crowded, tartar accumulates fast. Daily tooth brushing starting in the first week is the only effective prevention. Budget for professional dental cleanings beginning around age 2 to 3.
Eye care is a daily routine. Daily gentle cleaning at the inner corners, hair kept trimmed from the eye surface weekly. Consistent, not complicated. This is what separates a healthy 14-year-old Teddy Bear from one with chronic eye issues.
