DOODLE OWNERS, LET’S TALK ABOUT UNDERCOAT 🐩
Here’s something a lot of owners don’t realize:
Some Doodles inherit a dense undercoat, and that loose, dead hair doesn’t always fall out like it does with other breeds. Instead, it can get trapped underneath all those beautiful curls and waves!
Here’s why undercoat maintenance matters:
🩷 TRAPPED HAIR = MORE TANGLES. Loose undercoat can accumulate within the coat and contribute to matting if it isn’t properly maintained.
🩷 BRUSHING THE SURFACE ISN’T ENOUGH. You can have a fluffy-looking dog with a seriously neglected undercoat underneath. Brushing needs to reach all the way down to the skin.
🩷 NOT ALL DOODLES ARE THE SAME. Some have dense double coats, some have single coats, and some have a combination. Their grooming needs depend on their individual genetics.
🩷 UNDERCOAT SERVES A PURPOSE. It helps insulate and protect your dog’s body. We’re not trying to remove healthy hair just for the sake of removing hair. We’re removing loose, dead hair that needs to come out.
🩷 DESHEDDING ISN’T A ONE-TIME FIX. Regular brushing at home and consistent professional grooming help prevent excessive buildup.
THE BIGGEST TAKEAWAY: Just because your Doodle doesn’t leave tumbleweeds of hair all over your house doesn’t mean they’re not shedding!
Sometimes that hair is hiding right underneath the fluff. 😉
And that’s why coat maintenance is SO important!
Healthy coat. Healthy skin. Happy mutt.🩷
