I just found your channel tonight and I am so grateful. I have a shepadoodle which I think is a less common mix (German shepherd & poodle). I truly didn’t fathom the care his coat would need and watching this and several of your other videos has helped me realize what I need to do to take good care of his coat. Thank you!

Hi Emily, yay, so glad you found the channel and that you find it helpful! In all my years, I have not seen a GS/Poo mix - he must be adorable! (feel free to send pics: gina@ginasgrooming.com)! Glad to hear you are researching the proper care for poodle-mix coats - your pup found the right family, for sure! 🥰

Totally entertained by the dog!❤

Aw, Toy Poodes are adorable - congratulations on your new pup, as well as learning to maintain the coat properly! Sorry for any repetition and long discussion - I'm learning to make shorter videos much more to the point. Thank you for your feedback, and good luck grooming your Poodle! 😍

Wondering if this is your own dog, as she behaves as if she is yours? Lovely affectionate beautiful poodle.

Aw, thank you, Ava is indeed an amazing and sweet dog, but she is not mine (I have an older black Standard Poodle, Rosie, and a small Havanese mix that you'll see on the channel from time to time.) But thank you so much for noticing the love between groomer and dog. That's my main reason for going out on KZread, trying to show (with video evidence, lol!) that grooming can really be an enjoyable and loving process. I appreciate your comment immensely! 🙏🥰

Thank you for another great video! We usually brush our puppy every day or every other day with the pin brush and once or twice a week with the slicker brush.How often we can use the spray if we see groomer every 8 ish weeks?

Hi Marinka, it sounds like you are doing an amazing job brushing your puppy! For the spray, although some sprays say you can use daily, I would keep it to once a week so that there is no buildup on the coat in the 8 weeks in between full baths. But if u have matting or a tangle, a spray always helps to brush through it. I hope that helps and congrats on your puppy! 🥰🐾

Hello! Okay so I have a little toy poodle. ❤ I have not been brushing her… I normally get her groomed every 8 weeks. With two or three home baths in between. How often do you recommend the in between brushing, combing and spritzing?

Hey Cheychey! That all depends on how short you keep your poo baby. With an 8-week grooming interval, I'm going to assume that either 1) you keep them short or 2) they have a thinner, silkier coat that doesn't tangle easily. Anything over 1" (2.5cm) on the body for a Poodle will usually require weekly maintenance brushing (plus it keeps them fluffed out and extra cute). Longer parts need more attention (puffy tail, top knot, ears, bracelets, if applicable). But if your poo is running sleek and smooth all year long, your brushing requirements are much less. Hope that helps, thanks for the comment! 🐾

Great video! I'm a stroke survivor with a paralyzed arm. Do you think it is possible to brush a maltipoo using only one hand? Or should I look for another breed? Thank you xx

Dear Caroline, nice to meet you! That's a big question because it really will depend on the disposition of your dog and the equipment you are working with, plus the expectations you have in terms of frequency of professional grooming visits and coat length. If you plan on keeping your pup in a 2-3cm puppy cut with regular visits to your groomer (say every 4-6 weeks), and you just need to do maintenance brushing on a docile pup, you should do great! If you have a tasmanian devil, lol, and you want to keep them in a long, fluffy look and you don't visit your groomer very often, you - and every person on the planet - would have a hard time. And having the right setup (grooming table, grooming arm and loop) helps immensely versus the "brush my dog while we sit on the couch together". If you are absolutely set on a Maltipoo or any other long-coated breed, a dedicated grooming area is something to consider setting up in a corner of your home by a wall to make sure you have a place to make brushing as easy as possible for you. For your second question of looking for another breed, I say follow your heart - but know that any breed will need basic grooming and care. Considering your special situation, a Maltipoo is a great choice, but you may need to budget more than planned for professional help (and you are not alone - these dogs just cost more to maintain, point blank.) I hope that helps answer your question; please keep me posted on what you decide! 😊

I have a goldendoodle, his hair is basically poodle hair, very course and curly. He is still very young and likes to get very dirty so when he gets groomed every month it so we go with a short cut. The brushes we have are for his longer areas just like the brush you use in this, but with his hair short the pins are too long and hurt him. Is there any brush you recommend for shorter hair?

Hi Carrie! First off, I love that you've chosen to keep your Goldendoodle short due to his activity level and lifestyle! For brushing shorter areas, I can recommend a "Coated Pin" slicker brush which will see him through a bit of coat growth but won't scratch his skin when he is short. Here's an example of one I have used: amzn.to/3B1bMmV. Hope this helps and thanks for watching! 😊

Do you have a recommendation for a fragrance free conditioning spray?

@GinasGrooming

Hi Josie! I am not a fan of perfumes (for me or the dogs!), so most of the sprays I use have a very delicate scent. I would say the most neutral spray I use is the Bio-Groom Indulge: amzn.to/49fBpyv. It has a bit of a zesty scent at first, but it does not sit on the pet, just refreshes the coat. Hope that helps!

Hi Roz! This video is demonstrating how to maintain a Poodle (and mix) coat with a brush and comb in between grooming visits. The brushing and combing that you see demonstrated is about 2 weeks after the Poodle's regular bath, blowout (with high velocity dryer), comb and fluff. But yes, of course, you must have a high-velocity dryer to dry a Poodle properly. But most Poodle owners need to brush and comb their dogs in between their baths and grooms to make sure there is no matting, and many owners do not know how to do that - so we made a video! Thanks for your comment! 😊
