Curly coats, kept neat
Poodle and doodle grooming in Nashville.
Poodles, goldendoodles, bichons and other curly or wavy coats grow without stopping and tangle easily, and Nashville's humidity adds to it. A groomer who does this work daily can keep the coat tidy and comfortable.
Pricing factors for curly coats.
These coats take more time and skill than a smooth coat, so they carry a higher price.
- A careful comb-out has to happen before the bath, and dense coats can take a long while.
- Scissor work on the face, ears and legs is slower than clipping and costs more.
- Mats are the common surprise. If they are severe, the groomer may recommend a short clip to avoid hurting the skin.
- Visits every four to six weeks usually keep costs lower than waiting until the coat is a mess.
- Dog size ranges from mini to standard, so give a weight for a better estimate.
- Brushing a few times each week at home keeps mats, and bills, under control.

How much does a doodle groom cost in Nashville?
Most run about $85 to $180 depending on size, style and coat condition.
How often should a poodle be groomed?
Every four to six weeks suits most, with shorter gaps in humid months.
Why would a groomer shave my dog short?
Tight mats can hurt the skin, and a short cut can be more comfortable than a long dematting. The groomer should explain the choice.
Is a short summer cut a good idea here?
Many owners do it for July and August to cut down on drying time and tangles, and then grow the coat out in fall.
