Grooming The Doodle

Grooming The Doodle

The Doodle can be one of the most challenging to groom due to the variance in coat texture, type and condition. The Doodle is also one of the funnest to groom, due to their rapid hair growth one can change styles completely several times a year.

Some Doodle coats are very similar to Poodle coats and require more maintenance and grooming than the Doodle whose coat is more similar to a Labrador. Most Doodle owners want a long, fluffy and scruffy looking dog which is undeniably cute but also requires more brushing and attention.

It is important that owners are critical with themselves and honestly decide how much time they want to dedicate to daily brushing ? how often are they wanting a full groom ? are they willing to bring their Doodle in for in between maintenance grooming ? All of these factors decide on exactly how long and fluffy your Doodle will be.

All Doodle coats do best when properly cleansed, conditioned, hydrated and line brushed - understanding how to line brush and which products will best suit your Doodle is what we do ! Over 25 years of working with show dogs in full coat - WE understand coat care! And while your Doodle is not a "show dog" - your Doodle is part Poodle or part Cocker or part Setter or ... and those "parts" are what make up the unique coat on your Doodle. The Doodle Groomer must intimately understand the structure and anatomy of hair and the variance of that structure in different breeds.

We understand Doodles and groom several everyday. We also understand Doodle owners love to be a part of the Doodles Grooming Experience and we offer Private Grooming Sessions by appointment. Feel free to call us about your Doodle needs 360-352-1322
