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 an update to let everyone know I’ve had the pump on the van sorted so it’s business as usual for the next few weeks. I’m on holiday beginning of March I have limited appointments available from now until 4th March so please get in touch to book in before I go away. While I’m away I have plans in place to refurb the van which could potentially mean the Cadi-Shack could be off the road for a few weeks. I will know more on the timescale of how long the work is likely take sometime this week, I will keep you all updated when I have more info.

Still not got the pump working 😖 so today I had to improvise! Baby bath from home bargains 🛁 my lovely customers provided the water 💦💧where there’s a will there a way. Here is lovely Penny having her bath thinking this isn’t the normal drill 🤔

Just when I get things back up
and running the curve ball gets launched and hits me right between the eyes 😖 yep you guessed it the pump in the van has given up yet again. I have contacted my customers who are booked in tomorrow as it’s not looking like the problem is a quick fix. I’ll be in contact with you if you are booked in this week and keep you updated. Apologies for the inconvenience 😕

Dreaming about summer

19/01/2025

Just another update on the van. I am back up and running but the water pump isn’t firing on all cylinders 😩 so it’s taking me a bit longer to wash the dogs. Any one who’s had appointments postponed I am trying my hardest to get you all rebooked as soon as I can. Anyone who’s messaged for an appointment please bear with me I’m not ignoring anyone I’m flat out trying to get my van sorted and reschedule appointments. spring can’t come quick enough 💐🐣🐰

15/01/2025

Just when you think you’re back up and running! I now have an issue with my water pressure 😩 if there are any plumbers that can help I’d be more than grateful 🙏🏼
