Grooming Tips for Doodles, Poodles & Curly-Coated Dogs in Metro Detroit

Doodles and Poodles are among the most popular dogs in Ferndale and Metro Detroit — and also among the highest-maintenance for grooming. Their curly, continuously growing coats require regular professional care to stay healthy and tangle-free.

How Often Should Doodles Be Groomed?

Most Doodles and Poodles need professional grooming every 6–8 weeks. Their coats grow quickly and mat easily, especially behind the ears, under the legs, and around the collar. Waiting too long often means the coat must be fully shaved to remove mats.

Brushing Between Appointments

Brush your Doodle 2–3 times per week minimum to prevent matting. Use a slicker brush and metal comb, working through the coat in small sections. Pay extra attention to high-friction areas like armpits and collar areas.

Popular Doodle Haircuts

Popular styles for Goldendoodles, Labradoodles, and Bernedoodles include the Teddy Bear cut (fluffy rounded face), the Puppy cut (short all over), and the Kennel cut (easy to maintain). At Poodle & Co., our groomers specialize in breed-specific and custom Doodle styling.
