🐾 PawsAbout Dog Grooming — Coogee & Rose Bay
Sydney’s Oodle-Specialised Grooming Salon
At PawsAbout, we believe every dog deserves gentle, thoughtful and beautifully tailored care.
With boutique salons in Coogee and Rose Bay, our experienced groomers specialise in oodles, teddy-bear cuts and fluffy coats, using premium products, calm handling and personalised grooming techniques.
Every appointment includes a coat & skin assessment, wellness check and grooming advice tailored to your dog’s needs.
🐶 Oodle & Teddy-Bear Grooming Specialists
Oodle coats require skill, consistency and regular maintenance — and that’s exactly what we’re known for.
We specialise in breeds such as:
• Cavoodles
• Groodles
• Spoodles
• Labradoodles
• Maltipoos
• Schnoodles
• Moodles
• Other fluffy & designer “teddy-bear” breeds
Our signature finishes:
✨ Rounded teddy-bear faces
✨ Fluffy legs and soft scissored coats
✨ Rounded muzzles
✨ Longer teddy lengths with clipper-comb attachments
✨ Knot-free, healthy, shaped coats year-round
PawsAbout is widely trusted across Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs for consistent, premium teddy-bear styling.
💛 Specialists in Anxious & Sensitive Dogs
Many dogs feel unsure at the groomer — and this is where we truly shine.
We offer a calm, patient and predictable grooming experience designed specifically for anxious and sensitive pups.
How we support them:
✔ Recurring appointments with the same groomer
✔ Dedicated 3–4 hour grooming windows
✔ One dog at a time — no rush, no overwhelm
✔ Low-noise, boutique salons
✔ Slow, gentle handling with breaks as needed
If your dog needs patience and understanding, PawsAbout is the perfect fit.
🗓️ Recommended Grooming Schedule
To keep your dog comfortable, fluffy and mat-free:
• Full Grooms: every 4–6 weeks
• Bath & Tidies: between haircuts for oodles and long coats
• 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
• Keeps the teddy-bear look
• Supports emotional wellbeing
• Helps your puppy feel safe, settled and happy at each visit
