Good morning my fur family,
With a extreme amount of decision making we are relocating to BC. Opportunities have came up for my family and we accepted the adventure. The unfortunate part is it is a quick move. I will be open for the next couple of weeks to get everybody in the best I can. The last 13 years of my mobile grooming has brought me the absolute most amazing fur family I could ever possibly imagine. I am truly one of the luckiest persons out there to have every single of you by my side for everything. You all are not just clients you are my family. The stories I could tell! It does break my heart to leave you all behind and I wish i could take you all with us. I love you all! ❤️🥹

Copied from one of my grooming sites. Thinking about getting a Doodle, Cockapoo or any Poodle mix? Have you been told they "don't need grooming until 1yrs old" or "coat maintenance is easy"?
*PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING piece written by a groomer..in the pic that's known as a pelted coat /Pelting. A dog’s fur gets so matted & tangled it will come off in one piece. It's outs tension on the skin, can damage the skin causing horrible infections and sometimes renders the dog helpless,unable to move and it can then cause fatality
-------->

Poodle crosses (cockapoos, doodles, maltipoos etc.) are not "easy breeds" to maintain. The photo attached (shared from another groomer) shows how matting forms at the skin. By looking at this dog's top coat, you may not see the knots and you may not feel them as you would a knot on the ends of the fur but under that fluffy top layer this is going on. Once it starts its very difficult/ impossible to brush out... and even if you could it would be cruel to put the dog through it. Maintenance at home has to be more than a quick once over for these dogs if you want to keep them in that fluffy coat which was probably one of the reasons you chose a poodle cross in the first place. You really need to sit down with a brush and then a metal comb and make sure you can get it through the entire body at least 2 to 3 times a week.

I often feel like owners don't believe groomers when they say their dog has to be clipped very short. I always hear "I know he/she is matted, but leave as much as you can". You cannot clip through matting, you can only clip under it. As this photo shows, clipping under the matting means taking the coat back to the skin.
I promise you, your groomer really doesn't want to do this but they won't hurt your dog by putting it through dematting, they also don't want to hurt their reputation when the clients go around complaining about how the last groomer "scalped" their dog but there really is not any alternative. Instead of being angry with your groomer if they clip your dog very short please respect their commitment to do what is in your dog's best interest, accept responsibility for not having brushed your dog properly at home, and work with your groomer because, together, you can prevent this happening again. All groomers will be very happy to demonstrate a technique called line brushing which will help make your grooming at home more effective. Just ask! We all want owners to know how to do this

Poodle crosses are easily one of the highest maintenance dogs in reference to their coats. The combination of the soft coat they are mixing poodles with these days is a coat that is extremely prone to matting.

If you like a fluffy pup, you probably need to consider no more than 3-5 week intervals between grooming and set aside time for regular brushing AND combing at home.

Please know, if you bathe your poodle cross you really need to blow dry and brush out right after. Moisture, be it a bath, rain, swimming, snow etc are all going to make matting worse. If you know your dog is already matted-- bathing is only going to make it worse! Brush out before the bath.

Lastly "breeders" who say these dogs can't or shouldnt be clipped and not to give them a hair cut until they are one year old are misleading potential owners in order to sell$$$$ puppies and setting them up for a sad day when they finally take their pup to the groomer!!!

If this hasn't put you off buying one please schedule your puppy's first groom immediately after they've had their vaccinations and then be prepared to do the maintenance at home between regular professional grooms.

Dogs are family 😊❤

Just wanted to touch base with all my people/pups. Things have been so busy these days and by drs request I’m supposed to slow myself down. I have got myself to a point where I’ve had a migraine for a week and it has knocked me out completely. I am still working but as of right now I am not taking any new clients and going to concentrate getting my schedule back on track with all my existing family/clients. Apologies for having to rebook and change things around so I can get my rest. I love each and everyone of you! Thank you for understanding ❤️🐾🐾❤️

I have returned after a week off and could take another week off. Things had gotten pretty hectic for the last couple of months and I have been fairly exhausted, run down and over worked. I Plan on slowing down for a bit, with that said bookings are at least a couple weeks out. I will get back to all messages from over the past week there are a lot so please be kind and patient. I want all to remember I do have a family that needs me as well. ❤️
