The Different Coat Types of Doodles and How to Care for Them

Doodles have a unique characteristic that attracts many dog ​​lovers: their coats. While beautiful, Doodles also require a lot of grooming . Therefore, it's important to know what your Doodle's coat needs. In this blog post, we'll discuss the different coat types of Doodles and provide tips on how to best care for them.

Fleece coat (wavy)

The fleece coat is one of the most common coat types in Doodles. This coat has soft, light waves that resemble a wave on the beach. This coat often develops when one parent has a curly (wool) coat and the other a straight coat. Although the fleece coat looks beautiful, maintaining it can require some effort. To prevent tangles, regular brushing is essential. Use a long, wide-toothed brush and start at the roots of the hair. Work slowly toward the tips to gently comb out tangles. It's also important to bathe your Doodle's coat regularly to remove dirt and excess hair.

Wool coat (curly)

Doodles with a wool coat have tight, close-knit curls. This coat is often hypoallergenic and considered allergy-friendly. To keep the curls beautiful and tangle-free, daily brushing is necessary. Use a fine-toothed comb or a natural-bristle brush to loosen the curls and prevent tangles. In addition to regular brushing, it's important to have your Doodle's coat professionally trimmed to remove excess length and keep it healthy.

Flat Coat (straight)

The flat coat is similar to the Golden Retriever's coat. It's fine, very straight hair. This hair generally sheds a lot, making it less allergy-friendly. Use a long-toothed brush and gently work it through the coat to untangle tangles.
