For poodle mixes and curls
Doodle and curly coat grooming in Fort Myers, mat free.
Doodles, poodles, bichons and Portuguese water dogs have curls that grow without stopping and knot at the skin. Fort Myers rain, river humidity and sandy yards make regular care essential.
What affects a curly coat price.
These grooms cost more than a smooth coat because of the combing, drying and scissor work.
- Pre-bath combing takes more time than any other step.
- Fluff drying with a stand dryer helps scissor work look even.
- Dogs with mats often need a clip short enough to remove them safely.
- Four to six week visits are better than longer gaps.
- Standard-size doodles cost more than miniatures.
- Ask whether the quote includes de-matting, which is sometimes extra.

Before you book.
How much does it cost to groom a doodle in Fort Myers?
Typical visits cost about $80 to $170, depending on size, coat condition and style.
Can I keep a long coat in Southwest Florida?
Yes, but only with frequent brushing. Many owners pick a medium length that dries faster after rain.
Why do doodles mat so quickly?
The curls interlock, and moisture and friction speed it up. Collars and harnesses are common trouble spots.
What do I do before the appointment?
Brush gently and keep your dog dry. Do not bathe a matted dog before the groom, since water tightens mats.
