best brushes for a cockerpoo

[MyBoyChe]

Can anyone recommend suitable brushes for a cockerpoo puppy coat. Hes a little fluffball and I want to get him used to daily grooming in prep for being groomed professionally. His coat will need lots of care I think so the sooner he gets used to being brushed the better

It depends what type of coat hes inherited more. I got mine used to brushing with just a puppy soft brush/pin brush. If he has more of a poodle coat it's not cheap but the Les pooch green brush is great for really getting through it. I also use a slicker rake with really rounded ends on it for after she's been clipped and her coat is thinner. She's mainly poodle with some lab so you might not need the green brush if he has less curl.

Excuse me but are you posting about a puppy without pictures? You'll get no help until you post them ;-)

You will need a good comb I like the ones with 2 different sizes in one. A pin brush such as a Chris christenson and a slicker. I’m not a groomer but have seen so many “poo” coats that have got into a mess through lack of grooming. Try and do a bit everyday

I have a Bichon (and Shitsu). The Bichon is groomed daily with a slicker. I did start out with a soft brush when she was a puppy, and a wide tooth comb as their coats are straight when they’re puppies. A lot will ultimately depend on how she’s ‘groomed’ ultimately. Both my dogs are cut very short due to our lifestyles, so a slicker is perfectly adequate to keep the coat(s) tangle free and tip top.

A decent slicked brush and practice line brushing. Then comb through to make sure you get to the root.
Has he been to a groomer yet? I advise to get them in for an intro groom once second jabs are done, so they get used to the bath, blow dryer and having little trim of bum and face. Most people then opt for the first proper ‘groom’ at 6 months.
I do a huge number of cockapoos and their coats vary so much but they are very prone to matting so regular brushing and grooming will be key.

Thanks all. Scats, he met my groomer last week as his big bro springer was booked in for his regular groom. She gave him a cuddle, trimmed his eyes, bum and paws and he is booked in for a puppy groom in 2 weeks time, he will be 15 weeks old then. Hes perfectly happy for me to brush and comb him, play wit his ears and paws but boy, does he wriggle
