Cavapoos (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel × Poodle) have soft, wavy-to-curly coats that are low-shedding but high-maintenance. Like most doodles, they mat quickly without regular grooming.
How often
Every 4–6 weeks professionally. The Poodle influence means the coat keeps growing and tangles fast, so a consistent schedule is key.
Typical cost
Expect $55–$95 for a full groom. Doodle coats take time to bathe, dry, and scissor, and dematting fees are the main thing that pushes the price up.
Popular Cavapoo styles
- Teddy bear
- Puppy cut
- Short summer trim
- Longer coat with tidy
Owner tips
Brush thoroughly 3–4 times a week with a slicker brush and a metal comb, all the way to the skin — surface brushing misses the mats that form underneath. Introduce grooming early, since doodle puppies do best when they get used to handling and the dryer young. Book recurring appointments to keep the coat from getting ahead of you.
