What does a teddy bear cut look like on a Maltipoo?
A Maltipoo teddy bear cut creates a perfectly round face with large, expressive eyes peeking through the fluff. The body is trimmed to 1-1.5 inches, the legs are rounded, and the tail is left as a soft plume. On a small Maltipoo, the effect is remarkably toy-like — like a living stuffed animal.
How much does a Maltipoo teddy bear cut cost?
Maltipoo teddy bear cuts cost $55-$85 in Australia. As a small breed, Maltipoos are at the lower end of grooming prices. However, the teddy bear cut requires skilled scissor work, so expect to pay slightly more than a simple all-over clip.
How often does a Maltipoo need grooming?
Every 4-6 weeks. Maltipoos have a soft, cotton-like coat that mats easily despite being low-shedding. The fine texture tangles quickly, especially around the ears, legs, and belly. Daily brushing with a pin brush or slicker brush keeps the coat in good condition between grooms.
My Maltipoo has tear staining — will the teddy bear cut help?
The teddy bear cut keeps the face hair shorter and more manageable, making it easier to clean tear stains daily. Ask your groomer to keep the face hair trimmed clear of the eyes. For persistent tear staining, consult your vet — it can be caused by diet, blocked tear ducts, or allergies.
