What Size is your Doodle?

Not all doodles are created equal — especially when it comes to size and coat care. Whether you’ve got a toy-sized fluffball or a big, teddy bear-sized dood, choosing the right brush makes all the difference.

Let’s break it down.

 

Toy Doodles

Tiny but mighty.
Because they’re closer to the ground, Toy Doodles often end up with muddy bellies and tangles in their lower coat.

Best brush: The Single-Head Brush — small and precise for daily use on sensitive areas like the belly, face, and paws.

💡 Pro tip: Do a quick 2-minute brush before bedtime — it’s the easiest way to prevent knots from forming overnight.

Mini Doodles

Mini doodles are known for their tight curls and silky patches — especially around the ears and paws. These are classic “mat magnet” zones. 

Best brush: The Single-Head Flexible Brush — designed for detail work and daily maintenance on tighter curls.

It’s gentle enough for sensitive areas but powerful enough to detangle those tricky spots. Combine it with a steel Comb for finishing touches.

Medium Doodles

The perfect balance — thick enough to mat, but light enough to manage with the right tools.

Best brush: The Double-Head Flexible Brush — ideal for covering larger areas while still gentle enough for curly coats.

🪮 Routine idea: Daily 5-minute brush + weekly deep grooming = a soft, shiny, healthy coat.

Standard Doodles

Big coats mean big tangles!

Standard doodles are where matting can get serious — fast. Their thick curls and dense undercoat need a little more power.

Best brush: The Extra Long Pin Slicker — designed to work through deep coats, reaching the undercoat without causing discomfort.

🛁 Pro tip: Always brush before bath time. Wetting mats only makes them tighter!
