Doodlecoats,understood.

Your doodle's coat matted in weeks? Most first-time owners find out the same way. I'm Hannah: I'll tell you whether it's wool, fleece or hair, give it a teddy bear finish, and show you how to brush to the skin.

Grooming doodles and poodle crosses since 2020

I'm Hannah Ellery, grooming in Cirencester, Gloucestershire. Me plus one apprentice, three certificates and a great many doodle coats.

Every doodle coat is different — wool, fleece or hair. I'll tell you which yours is and how to stop it matting.

which coat is yours?

Wool, fleece or hair: which one is yours?

Cockapoos, cavapoos, labradoodles, goldendoodles and miniature poodles can carry any of the three. The coat decides the groom.

Wool coat

Tight curls, closest to the poodle side. Mats fastest, so it needs brushing right down to the skin.

Fleece coat

Soft, loose waves, the classic teddy bear look. Tangles quietly underneath while the top looks fine.

  • Loose waves
  • Teddy bear cut

Hair coat

Straighter and flatter, closer to the spaniel or retriever side. Easier to brush, sheds more.

De-matting session

For coats that got ahead of you, which happens to most doodles. Priced on assessment once I've seen the coat.

Puppy intro groom

A short first groom for puppies under 6 months, so the table and the brush feel familiar early.

Maintenance bath and tidy

A bath and tidy between full grooms, so mats never get a head start on the coat.
