@thekittycutsgrooming: Very Matted Labradoodle Shave Down. Sometimes, they are too matted to save. Although some owners want to keep the dog longer the coat can be deceiving. It may not look matted up top but when you really dig through the fur you can see the dog is too matted. It would be very painful to try to brush out. So in this case we used a 7F all over to start the dog fresh. This is especially great if the dog will go swimming or get wet. For future grooming reference - If you want to do a shave down every time you can do every 12 weeks (just keep an eye on the nails.) If you don't like the shaved look and want the dog longer this type of coat needs seen every 4 weeks. You can stretch longer if you use a slicker brush and comb at home. If you want 1/2" all over and get them groomed every 4 weeks you don't have to brush unless your dog gets wet a lot. If you want longer than 1/2" you may require about a 20 minute brush out once a week. Really focus on the areas like the legs, tail, ears and face. The body is always the least of worries/last. Line brushing is effective on the legs to make sure you are getting down to the skin. #Labradoodle #MattedDogMakeover #DogGroomingASMR #TheKittyCutsGrooming #DogGrooming
