When should a Cavoodle puppy have their first groom?
Ideally at 12-16 weeks, after their second vaccination. The first groom should be a gentle introduction — a bath, light face tidy, nail clip, and sanitary trim. Many groomers offer a discounted "puppy introduction" session focused on positive experiences rather than a full cut.
What happens during a Cavoodle puppy groom?
A puppy groom is kept short and positive. It typically includes a warm bath, gentle blow-dry, light trim around the face and eyes, nail clip, ear check, and sanitary tidy. The groomer focuses on making it a happy experience with treats and praise, building positive associations with grooming.
How much does a Cavoodle puppy groom cost?
Puppy grooms for Cavoodles typically cost $40-$60 in Australia. These sessions are shorter than a full groom and focused on introduction. As your Cavoodle grows and needs a full groom, prices move to the standard $60-$90 range.
