How I Groom Cavapoos
Cavapoos are a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel crossed with a Poodle, and their coats can land anywhere between the two. Some have a loose, silky wave from the Cavalier side, others have tight Poodle curls. That difference matters, because the curlier the coat, the more often it needs brushing and cutting.
Most Cavapoos I see are small or medium, gentle and a little bit needy, which makes them lovely to groom. The parts that need the most care are the face and the ears: hair around the eyes, tear staining, and long ear feathering that knots where it rubs against the collar.

Popular Cavapoo Styles
Bring a photo if you have a look in mind. I will be honest about whether it suits your dog's coat and how much brushing it needs at home.
Round teddy face
The face scissored into a soft circle so the eyes are clear, with the ears blended in or left a little longer.
Puppy cut
An even length all over that grows out neatly and is simple to keep brushed between visits.
Long ears, shorter body
Keeps the Cavalier look on the ears while the body is kept practical. The ears then need brushing every couple of days.
Short summer clip
Shorter all over for warm weather, muddy months or a coat that has started to knot.
Looking After a Cavapoo Coat at Home
- Wipe around the eyes every day with a damp cotton pad. Cavapoos often have tear staining, and keeping the area dry stops it getting worse.
- Brush the ears and the armpits every couple of days. They are where Cavapoo coats knot first.
- If your Cavapoo has a curly coat, aim for a quick brush every day rather than a big session once a week.
- Ask me about keeping the hair trimmed away from the eyes between grooms if it starts to poke.
Which groom to book
Adult Cavapoos have the Snips Signature Cut. Puppies start with Young Pups, and a Wash & Go is handy halfway between cuts if the coat is longer.
Cavapoo Grooming Questions
I keep the hair around the eyes short and clean so it does not wick moisture onto the face, which helps. Heavy or sudden staining can have a health cause, so mention it to your vet as well.
It depends on how much brushing you can do at home. If you can brush most days, a longer teddy cut looks lovely. If not, a shorter puppy cut will keep your Cavapoo comfortable and mat-free until the next visit.
A full groom is £40 for a small Cavapoo and £50 for a medium one. The full list is on my prices page.
