Those gorgeous coats do, however, come with maintenance.
The combination of Cocker Spaniel and Poodle coat characteristics means Cockapoo coats can vary enormously, but many are particularly prone to tangles and matting.
How Often Does a Cockapoo Need Grooming?
For many Cockapoos, we recommend professional grooming approximately every six to eight weeks.
A typical Cockapoo groom with us may take around 90 minutes, although coat condition, size, temperament and the chosen style can change this.
Why Does My Cockapoo Keep Getting Knots?
A Cockapoo can look beautifully fluffy on top while knots are developing closer to the skin.
Behind the ears, under the legs and areas where collars or harnesses rub are common trouble spots.
Regular brushing is important, but brushing the surface alone may miss tangles underneath. Following brushing with an appropriate comb can help you check whether you've reached through the coat.
Can You Keep My Cockapoo's Coat Long?
Often, yes – providing the coat is in suitable condition.
The longer you'd like the finished coat to be, the more home maintenance is usually required between professional appointments.
If significant matting has already developed, trying to preserve a long coat can mean putting a dog through unnecessary discomfort. In that situation we'll discuss the kindest options with you.
A Good Cockapoo Grooming Routine
The easiest coat to manage is one that hasn't been allowed to become heavily tangled in the first place.
Combining regular home maintenance with a consistent professional grooming schedule usually gives us far more choice over your Cockapoo's finished style.
