Doodle & Poodle Grooming Services

---

Doodles can come in a variety of sizes, ranging from small to GIANT. They may have curly, wavy, fleecy, wiry coats, or some combination thereof. They may have undercoats that shed or may not. Because of this variety, Doodles are very difficult to provide price quotes for. The only thing that is universal among them is that all doodles require some grooming, but many require a lot!

Consequently, when you ask for a price quote for your Doodle, we may provide a large range. We will be able to give a more precise quote upon seeing your dog but no quote will be final until we have fully groomed your dog and they have reached full size with a full adult coat. Pricing may also change throughout your dog’s life or even from visit to visit.

There are 3 factors that go into keeping your dog mat-free and looking their best:

• Frequency of professional grooming
• At-home maintenance
• Length of haircut.
   

We have to find a balance between these factors that suits your budget, schedule, lifestyle, and aesthetic preferences.

​

For example, if you choose a long haircut, your dog will need more frequent grooming appointments and more at-home maintenance. On the other hand, if you want to come less often, we can do a shorter haircut and you can do more at-home maintenance. This will buy more time between visits.

We will communicate and work with you to give your dog a haircut that you love. We love photos that help show us what you're looking for. Keep in mind that since doodle coats vary widely, some looks may not be possible on your pups' coat type. Try to find photos that match your dog's coat type. Developing a relationship with a groomer, like any other relationship, takes time and good communication. It may take a few visits for us to get your dog's style just right. Just let us know what you'd like to tweak and we'll work with you to achieve your grooming goals.

Unfortunately, a lot of styles popularized on the internet aren't always
realistic and there is no "official" standard doodle cut.The great thing about this is that you have lots of options! We recommend keeping an open mind and trying new things. After all, hair always grows back! Sometimes we may have to find a compromise between the look you love and a practical style that fits well into your life.

Pricing depends on several factors including but not limited to:

​

• Dog’s size
• Length of coat
• Type and texture of coat
• Frequency of grooming
• Desired style
• Condition of coat and/or presence of matting
• Dog’s behavior/temperament and how experienced he/she is with grooming
