What does a de-shedding treatment look like on a Maltipoo?
The de-shedding treatment on a Maltipoo creates a deep removal of loose undercoat using specialised tools and techniques. The body is typically kept at no cutting — focuses on removing loose undercoat, with the face shaped n/a — de-shedding focuses on the body coat. The exact result depends on your Maltipoo's individual coat texture — maltipoos have a soft, wavy-to-curly coat that holds this style well but requires regular brushing.
How often does a Maltipoo need a de-shedding treatment?
Most maltipoos need their de-shedding treatment refreshed every 4-6 weeks. Their coat mats easily, so regular brushing every 2-3 days between grooms is essential.
How much does a de-shedding treatment cost for a Maltipoo in Australia?
A de-shedding treatment for a Maltipoo typically costs $55-$85 in Australia, depending on the salon, location, and coat condition. Matted coats often incur surcharges of $10-$30, so regular grooming keeps costs consistent.
How do I maintain a de-shedding treatment at home between grooms?
Most effective when done seasonally (spring and autumn). Regular brushing at home extends the results. For maltipoos specifically, pay extra attention to the areas behind the ears, armpits, and where collars or harnesses sit — these are the first places mats form.
