Continuously growing curls need a strict cycle — full groom, scissor finish, no matting.

Cockapoo coats keep growing rather than shedding out, so loose hair stays in the coat and forms matts close to the skin — usually behind the ears, in the armpits and along the collar line first. Coat type varies enormously between individuals, from loose waves to tight curls, and the tighter the curl the faster it packs. Puppy coats also change texture between roughly eight and twelve months, which catches many owners out.
Hair that keeps growing rather than shedding out, so it mats without regular clipping and scissor work. These breeds need a full groom on a strict cycle. That puts Cockapoos on our Signature Full Groom package.
Best for: Cockapoos on a firm 4–6 week cycle, with brushing to the skin in between.
Not suited to: Leaving it longer than 8 weeks and asking for a long fluffy finish. Once a coat has matted to the skin, the kind option is a shorter groom.
Full Groom — every 4–6 weeks — Bath, blow-dry, clip and scissor finish. The only groom that keeps a Cockapoo coat healthy. See also add-ons & extras.

We groom Cockapoos across Glasgow, Paisley, Newton Mearns, Clydebank and every area on our service map.
Every 4–6 weeks, plus brushing at home two or three times a week right down to the skin — not just over the surface. Curly coats matt from the base up, so a coat that looks fine on top can be solid underneath.
Most likely the puppy coat changed to the adult coat, which happens somewhere between eight and twelve months and usually brings a denser, curlier texture. Brushing that worked before stops being enough almost overnight.
Yes, provided the coat is matt-free and you can maintain it at home between visits on a 6 week cycle. If the coat has already matted to the skin we will be honest with you and recommend a shorter groom — dematting a solid coat is painful and we will not put a dog through it.
Yes — Cavapoos, Cavachons, Cockapoos and other continuously growing crossbreeds all follow the same Full Groom cycle and the same coat rules.
