If you’ve got a Goldendoodle, Labradoodle, Bernedoodle—or any other Poodle mix—you already know these pups come with personality, smarts, and a whole lot of fluff. But behind that soft, teddy-bear coat is a reality most Doodle parents quickly learn: these dogs are high maintenance when it comes to grooming.
So how often should you groom a Doodle? For most, the sweet spot is every 4 to 6 weeks.
If that sounds like a lot, don’t worry. With mobile grooming available in Highlands Ranch, CO, keeping your Doodle clean, tangle-free, and healthy is easier than ever.
Why Doodle Coats Need Frequent Grooming
Doodles are bred from Poodles, which means most inherit some version of that curly, non-shedding coat. While that’s great for minimizing hair around the house, it also means the coat traps dirt, oils, and debris more easily than other breeds and it doesn’t shed out naturally.
Combine that with long, soft fur and a love for rolling around outside, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for mats, tangles, and build-up. Without regular brushing and bathing, those tangles can tighten into painful mats that pull at the skin and create ideal conditions for irritation and infection.
That’s why most groomers, including us at Woofie’s®, recommend full grooming appointments every 4 to 6 weeks, along with brushing at home 3–4 times a week to keep things under control in between visits.
Dirty Coats Make Matting Worse
There’s a myth that washing your dog too often causes mats, but the opposite is true. Clean coats are far easier to brush and maintain. Dirt and oil build-up causes the hair to clump and lock together, especially in high-friction areas like under the collar, behind the ears, or on the belly and legs.
Regular professional grooming keeps the coat soft, smooth, and manageable and reduces the chance you’ll need to shave your Doodle down due to severe matting.
Why Doodle Owners in Highlands Ranch Love Mobile Grooming Service
Let’s face it: getting a Doodle groomed at a traditional salon can be an ordeal. Load the car. Fight traffic. Wait around. Hope your pup doesn’t get overwhelmed by all the noise and commotion inside.
That’s why so many Doodle owners in Highlands Ranch are switching to mobile pet grooming with Woofie’s®. Here’s why it works so well for Doodles:
- Luxury spa experience at your curb: Our self-contained mobile grooming vans are climate-controlled and fully equipped. We don’t need to hook up to your home’s water or power.
- One-on-one care: Your Doodle gets the groomer’s full attention from start to finish. No crates, no chaos, and no long days spent waiting their turn.
- Faster, lower-stress appointments: Most appointments last just 60–120 minutes, compared to half-day or longer at brick-and-mortar salons.
- Convenient scheduling and reminders: We send text reminders, can accept secure online payment, and can even fetch your pup with your permission if you’re at work.
- Perfect for anxious or senior Doodles: Our stylists are trained to work gently with nervous dogs or those who need a little extra care.
