Doodle Wash
Doodle Bath & Brush-Out — Between-Groom Care.
Your groomer does the cut every 6 to 8 weeks. We keep the coat healthy in between.
What's Included
More than a rinse. A proper maintenance wash.
✦
Prevents matting between grooms
Regular baths loosen tangles before they tighten into mats. A matted coat can hide skin issues and makes the next haircut harder on your dog.
✦
Brush-out included
Every wash includes a thorough brush-out. We work through the coat section by section — not a quick once-over.
✦
No haircut — just a proper wash
We're not replacing your groomer. We're making the time between appointments better for your dog and easier for your groomer.
Maintenance Care
What happens between grooms matters.
Between-groom washes prevent matting from setting in. A mat that forms in week three becomes a problem in week six — by the time your groomer sees it, the only option may be shaving. Regular washing and brushing keeps the coat loose and the skin breathing.
A clean coat also means the next haircut goes more smoothly. Your groomer can work faster and get a better result when they are not fighting through weeks of buildup. And your dog stays more comfortable in the meantime — no pulling, no tangles, no hidden irritation.
Honest note: If matting is already severe, we will let you know before we start — forcing a brush through a badly matted coat hurts. In that case, your groomer should shave it out first.
FAQ
Doodle questions, answered.
No — Bay Area Mobile Dog Wash is a bath-and-brush service. We work alongside your groomer, not instead of them. If you need grooming referrals in San Jose, ask us and we'll point you toward groomers we trust.
Every 3–4 weeks is the sweet spot for most Doodles. More often if your dog is active outdoors. Less frequent bathing lets natural oils build up and the coat gets harder to brush out.
Light matting we can usually work through with the right tools and patience. If the matting is severe — tight to the skin, covering large areas — we'll tell you before we start. Forcing a brush through a badly matted coat is painful, and we won't do it. In that case, your groomer should shave it out first and we can maintain from there.
Yes, and it makes a real difference. Even 5–10 minutes a few times a week prevents tangles from setting in. We're happy to show you which tools work best for your specific dog's coat type.
Not sure if it's matting or just a thick coat?
Send this, then text a photo of the coat (pushed apart, down to the skin) to (408) 599-8317. A person looks at it and answers the same day: washable as-is, or mats that need a clipper groomer first — and if it's the clippers, we'll say so and point you to someone good. Water tightens mats, so knowing before the bath matters.
