Groodle grooming — your dog's coat type changes everything.
Most Groodle grooming problems come from one thing: not knowing which coat type the dog actually has. Wool, fleece and feathered coats look similar to owners but behave completely differently. Wrong tools, wrong schedule, wrong expectations — all of it starts here.
Book a Groodle GroomGroomer's Note
Two Groodles from the same litter can have completely different coats. One tight and curly like a Poodle, the other wavy and feathered like a Golden. Same breed. Completely different care. Knowing which coat your dog has is the starting point for everything else.

Grooming Frequency
How often should a Groodle be groomed?
The Coat Change Period
Between 6 and 14 months, everything can change.
🐾 Groomer Tip
A bad experience at the grooming table during the coat change period can create lasting anxiety. Short, regular visits — even just a wash — during this window make a significant difference long term.
Home Brushing
Do Groodles need brushing every day? It depends on the coat.
Fine-tooth metal comb
Greyhound comb
Wide-tooth comb
The comb check rule
"If the comb cannot reach the skin, the coat is not properly brushed."
Run a metal comb through after every brushing session. If it catches — go back. If it glides cleanly — you are done.
Why Mats Matter
Why does my Groodle keep matting — and what happens at the groomer?
🐾 Groomer Tip
A Groodle who comes in on time with a manageable coat always gets a better result. Regular brushing and the right groom schedule is what makes that possible.
Quick Summary
- Groodles have three coat types — wool, fleece and feathered — each needs different care
- Wool is highest maintenance: daily brushing, every 4 to 6 weeks professionally
- Fleece is most common: 3 to 4 times a week, every 6 to 8 weeks professionally
- Feathered is most manageable: weekly, every 8 to 10 weeks professionally
- The coat change between 6 and 14 months is when most Groodles get their first serious mat
- If the comb cannot reach the skin, the coat is not properly brushed
