Big, curly coats dried properly and trimmed to the style you want.
Doodles bring together a lot of dog and a lot of coat. A proper groom means washing and drying right down to the skin, then trimming to an even finish, which takes time and a groomer who is comfortable with big dogs.
Labradoodle and goldendoodle coats range from straight to woolly. Fleece and wool coats shed little and mat easily, especially on the legs, chest and behind the ears. Because the coat is dense, it must be dried thoroughly or it can stay damp near the skin.
Every six to eight weeks for most doodles, more often if you prefer a longer, fluffier coat.
Usually two to three hours, as large curly coats take time to wash and dry properly.
Small knots can be brushed out. Tight mats close to the skin are kinder to clip out, and we’ll always agree this with you first.
A shorter trim can make a doodle easier to look after in warm weather. We’ll suggest a length that suits the coat.
