🗓️ Recommended Grooming Schedule

To keep your dog comfortable, fluffy and mat-free:

• Full Grooms: every 4–6 weeks

• Brushing at home: several times a week
• Puppies: every 3–4 weeks for confidence building

This routine maintains a soft, healthy, teddy-bear coat year-round.

Puppies!!!!!

1️⃣ Puppy Love – First Groom (12–14 Weeks)

A short, positive introduction to grooming.
What’s included:
• Warm puppy wash
• Blow dry
• Trim around eyes
• Hygiene tidy around bottom
• Soft brush-out
• Nail trim & ear check
• Gentle handling & confidence building

We do not cut any fur off the body. The goal is to protect that beautiful fluffy puppy coat and create a calm, safe experience.

2️⃣ Wash & Tidy – 4–5 Weeks After Puppy Love

A slightly more structured session to build routine:
• Wash & blow dry
• Face tidy
• Hygiene tidy
• Feet, ears & tail tidy
• Brush-out

This step prevents matting as the coat thickens and helps your puppy learn consistency.

3️⃣ Regular Visits Every 4–5 Weeks

To maintain a fluffy coat and build trust, we alternate between:
✔ Wash & Tidy
✔ Full Long Teddy-Bear Groom (never shaved short unless required)

Regular grooming prevents matting and helps your puppy become fully comfortable with the grooming process.

4️⃣ First Full Groom – Teddy-Bear Style (6–8 Months)

Your puppy will be ready for their first full groom around 6–8 months.
This is a long, fluffy teddy-bear finish — not a short clip — designed to keep your puppy cute and cuddly while maintaining a healthy coat.

⭐ How Many Visits in the First Year?

Most puppies need 8–9 grooming visits during their first year.
This schedule ensures:
• A calm, confident dog
• No matting as the coat develops
• A soft, fluffy teddy-bear look
• Healthy skin & coat
• A lifelong positive association with grooming

🐶 Why This Program Works

Oodle and fluffy coats require consistent maintenance, especially between 5–12 months when matting is most common.
Our structured program:
• Builds trust & routine

• Avoids matting and coat damage
