🐾Looks Fluffy on Top, Pelted at the Roots: The Cockapoo Reality 🐾✂️
Swipe through to see the reality behind surface fluff! ➡️
Doodle coats naturally mat from the skin upwards. While the coat appeared long and wavy on top, gentle physical examination revealed that the undercoat had felted into a continuous, solid 'carpet' encasing the body tight against the skin.
Why combing out was impossible: Forcing combs through solid pelting causes excruciating pain, tissue bruising, and severe skin tears. A solid pelt also traps moisture and suffocates the skin beneath.
The humane solution: We carefully guided a blade beneath the pelt to safely relieve the tension. As documented, the coat came away in solid sheets, leaving the skin 100% intact, healthy, and completely free of any cuts, nicks, or irritation.
Hair will always grow back, but keeping our dogs comfortable and pain-free will always come first! ❤️
💡 Groomer Tip: Always line-brush right down to the pink skin line with a slicker brush, then check your roots with a metal comb.
