Cavapoo Grooming in Lincoln

Cavapoos have become one of Lincoln's most popular family dogs, and they arrive at the salon with one of the widest coat variations of any cross we see.

Every Cavapoo coat is different

Cavapoos can inherit anything from the Cavalier's silky, feathered coat to the Poodle's tight curl, and most sit somewhere between. Two Cavapoos from the same litter can need completely different grooming.

Wavier and curlier coats trap shed hair and mat in the same way a Cockapoo's does. Silkier, Cavalier-leaning coats mat less across the body but still knot heavily in the ear feathering, behind the legs and around the harness line.

That harness point catches a lot of owners out. A daily-walked Cavapoo in a harness will mat exactly where the straps sit, however good the rest of the coat looks.

Ears need particular attention

Cavapoos inherit long, low-set, heavily furnished ears from the Cavalier side. They hold moisture, restrict airflow and are a common site for infection.

Every full groom includes an ear clean and, where appropriate, tidying the hair around the canal. If we see anything that looks like the start of a problem — smell, redness, discharge, head shaking — we will tell you and suggest a vet check. We do not treat ear conditions, but we do spot them early.

How often should a Cavapoo be groomed?

Six to eight weeks suits most Cavapoos. Curlier coats often need six; silkier coats can sometimes stretch to ten with good home brushing.

Whatever the interval, comb the ear feathering, armpits and rear twice a week at home. Those three places account for the overwhelming majority of matting we see on this breed.

What we do for Cavapoos

Full Cavapoo groom

Bath, blow-dry, comb-through, clip or scissor finish to suit the coat, nails, ears and hygiene tidy.

Teddy bear trim

Rounded face and even body length. Works beautifully on a Cavapoo in good coat condition.

Ear and feather tidy

A lighter option between full grooms, keeping the ear feathering and legs under control.

Puppy first groom

From around 16 weeks. Short and gentle, focused on getting them comfortable rather than on the finish.

Cavapoo grooming questions

A full Cavapoo groom starts at £52. On VIP Membership, an eight-weekly Cavapoo comes to £29 a month including the seasonal spa treatment, free walk-in nail clips and shop discount. Extra charges may apply for matting or poor coat condition.
Very little compared to most breeds, but that is not the advantage it sounds like. The hair a Cavapoo loses stays in the coat rather than falling out, which is precisely why they mat. Low shedding means more grooming, not less.
Usually it is because brushing has become associated with pulling — which means matting has already been building. Get the coat back to a clean state with a groom first, then rebuild the habit with very short, calm sessions and a treat afterwards. Comb somewhere they are relaxed rather than somewhere they feel trapped.
