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.

Just need to inform people that all matted dogs will be charged according to the amount of time dematting takes . Its very stressfull for your dog and the kindest way is to clip short and start again . Its also unfair to customers that book their dogs in every 6-8 weeks for me to charge the same price . This last few weeks i have tried my best to help some of these poor dogs but unless you groom them or book in regularly they will be an additional charge . I have some loyal snd lovely clients who i appreciate very much . I try to fit everone in as best i can but these matted dogs blunt my blades and take too much of my time . Im trying to keep my prices affordable as i know its a struggle for all . Cheers and thankyou for reading 🐾💋🥂

Got a border collie? Let’s talk bums! 🍑 🐶

Border Collies need regular grooming sessions as their double coated fur is prone to heavy moulting - which if left ungroomed can easily become compacted or tightly matted (especially around their bottoms!).

🌟 Having regular deshed sessions ensures we can blast & brush out any compacting fur before it becomes matted to the skin. We advise every 7-8 weeks for heavy coated Collies. 🛁

🌟 Brush at home with a slicker brush and ensure you are getting to the base of the coat.

🌟 Lastly - if heavy matting is in place around the bottom or anywhere else we may have no option but to suggest removing the matts with clippers as this is the most humane way to get your dog back to being comfortable- regular grooming will ensure you don’t get to this point.
