House-call grooming has been around for a long time, but in the last few years it’s really come into its own, especially with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Miss Popcorn is finally looking herself again! (I wish she’d hold her ears up though!) Her haircut before this was super choppy and short in odd places. So I trimmed her kinda short last time so she’d be even and this time I was able to give her the haircut I used to a couple of years ago! Her owners are very happy! 🥰

What's House Call Grooming you ask?
It means that a professional groomer comes to your home and grooms your pet in the safety and comfort of it's own home. Many mobile groomers set up a shop inside of a trailer or van. Instead, I bring portable equipment into your home, garage or any area of your choosing indoors (unless it’s a beautiful warm day☀️). I bathe your pet in the kitchen sink, a utility sink or bathtub. No need to worry about clean up either! I do my best to make it look like I was never there. This is a luxury service that is dedicated to the elderly pets, pets who have separation anxiety, clients who are seeking 1 on 1 service at their door, dogs that can no longer tolerate the stressful event of riding a long distance to the groomer or just prefer to stay home with mom and dad.

Do Doodles Shed?

That’s the million dollar question that everyone wants to know, & the answer is YES.

When you breed a curly coat like a Poodle with a double coat like a Golden Retriever, the pup is born with a combination coat. They have both curly coat AND undercoat.

When you look under a microscope at doodle hair follicles, you can see that their hair does not grow in a synchronized pattern like a purebred dog. Since the hair follicles do not grow in sync with each other, this causes the coat to tangle more easily.

If a Doodle sheds, why are you not finding loose hair all over your house?

When the undercoat sheds, it clings to the curly coat which works like Velcro and holds all that hair in. It’s very important to brush and comb your doodle regularly not only to prevent matting, but also so that you can brush out the loose undercoat that is trapped in the curly coat. This trapped undercoat is one of the number one reasons that I see Doods matted.
