HOw TO Brush your OODLE

Maintaining your Doodle’s coat is essential for keeping their fur healthy, tangle-free, and comfortable. At Dog 4 Dog Grooming, we want to show you the right way to use a slicker brush, metal comb, and line brushing technique so you can help your dog look their best between grooming appointments.  For shorter coats (up to 1 ½ inches), we recommend brushing 1-2 times per week. For longer coats (over 1 ½ inches), a minimum of 3 brushing sessions per week is essential to prevent matting and tangle.

Doodle coats can easily mat and tangle if not regularly brushed. Mats can be painful for your dog, causing discomfort and skin irritation. Regular brushing helps:

• Remove dirt and debris
• Prevent tangles and mats
• Stimulate natural oils for a shiny, healthy coat
• Reduce shedding and maintain a fluffy appearance

 Line brushing is a method where you systematically work through your dog’s coat in small sections or lines, starting from the skin and moving outward. This technique ensures that you’re brushing out all layers of the coat, not just the surface, which is especially important for curly or dense Doodle coats.
