Coat care for breeds that never stop growing
Doodle and curly coat grooming prices in West Palm Beach.
Doodles, poodles, schnauzers and similar breeds have coats that never stop growing, and they are the most expensive dogs to groom because every part of the visit takes longer. Understanding why can help you plan your budget.
How curly coat grooming prices work.
The more often the coat is brushed and clipped, the less each visit costs, so a plan is better than a rescue job.
- Combing out a curly coat before the bath is the slowest part and is built into the price.
- Mats are charged by severity, and heavily matted dogs may need a short clip.
- Scissor finishing on the legs, face and tail takes more skill than a clipper pass.
- Long hair around the eyes and ears needs trimming for hygiene as well as looks.
- A shorter all-over cut costs about the same but stretches the time between visits.
- Some groomers set a surcharge for dogs over a certain weight.

Before you book.
Why is grooming a doodle more expensive?
The coat is dense and tangles close to the skin, so brushing and drying take longer than for most breeds. Time is the main cost.
Can I reduce the cost with a shorter cut?
A shorter cut can make home care easier, which lowers the chance of mats. The visit itself still costs the same.
How often should I brush my doodle?
Several times per week, all the way down to the skin. Daily brushing is ideal for long cuts.
Is it safe to shave a doodle?
It is possible, but the coat may grow back differently. Ask the groomer what length suits your dog.
