How Often Should My Cavoodle Be Groomed?



How Often Should My Cavoodle Be Groomed? With Doggy Dayspa

How Often Should My Cavoodle Be Groomed? (Spoiler Alert: More Than Every 3 Months!)

If we had a dollar for every time someone said, “Can you just fix the knots but don’t shave him?”—we’d have a team of Cavoodles answering the phone.

Cavoodles are undeniably one of the most popular breeds we see at Doggy Dayspa—and we totally get it. They’re cute, cuddly, and have those big round eyes that could talk you into giving them the last bite of your sandwich. But behind that adorable teddy bear face is a coat that needs serious TLC. So, let’s talk about Cavoodle grooming, how to keep your Cavoodle knot-free, and why a regular schedule isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity.

Why Does My Cavoodle’s Coat Get So Tangled?

Cavoodles have a glorious mix of Poodle curls and Cavalier silkiness, which unfortunately means they’re prone to matting—especially in areas like under the ears, armpits, and around the bum (yep, we said it). Without regular maintenance, those cute curls turn into a matted mess faster than you can say “zoomies.”

We recently had a lovely little Cavoodle come in on a 3-month grooming schedule, and by the time we saw him, we had no choice but to do a full shave-down. And no, it’s not because we’re lazy or love the sound of clippers—it’s because matted coats are uncomfortable, even painful, and brushing them out can cause more stress and damage than a clean shave.

So... How Often Should My Cavoodle Be Groomed?

How often should my Cavoolde be groomed? - Every 4 to 6 weeks. That’s the magic number.

If you want your Cavoodle to stay cute, cuddly, and knot-free, a professional groom every 4–6 weeks is essential. This keeps their coat in top shape, prevents matting, and makes the whole grooming process a positive experience instead of a dreaded ordeal.

Think of it like getting your own hair done. You wouldn’t wait 3 months, skip brushing, and expect a smooth, silky result, right? (Okay, maybe in lockdown, but still.)

Grooming Isn’t Just About Looking Good

Regular grooming isn’t just a beauty thing—it’s a health thing. Here’s why sticking to a routine is so important:

  • Mental wellbeing: Dogs that are groomed regularly are more comfortable with the process. No sudden “who is this person touching my paws?!” moments.

  • Physical health: Mats pull on the skin and can hide nasties like fleas, rashes, and even infections.

  • Early detection: Groomers often spot things like lumps, skin irritations, or ear infections early—meaning earlier treatment and less stress for your pup.

How to Groom My Cavoodle Between Appointments

Want to go the extra mile? Here’s how to keep your Cavoodle knot-free at home between professional grooms:

  • Brush every couple of days with a slicker brush and comb—especially under the legs and around the collar area.

  • Use a detangling spray to make brushing easier and more comfortable.

  • Check for knots with your fingers—if you feel a lump, there’s probably a tangle hiding in there.

  • Avoid over-bathing at home without proper drying and brushing, as wet coats love to knot up.
