Believe it or not, mom and dad have never taken me to get professionally groomed. Since I was a pup, they have taught themselves how to groom me. Little by little and day by day they learned to trim, cut, and shave the underside of my paws. Grooming is so very important to good health and hygiene. Please do not under any circumstance groom your own dog without proper training. It took my parents weeks worth of training.
This is what my parents use to groom me!
These are the scissors and thinning shears that they use:
Here is my favorite detangler comb:
And this is the brush that mom uses on me daily to keep me nice and fluffy!
For my body, my parents use 12mm clipper guard. My legs are hand cut with scissors and thinning shears. My face, head, and ears are all cut by hand and finished with thinning shears.

I love that your Mom has learned to groom you, that’s awesome! It’s a great bonding time for you and your Mom! But, as a Dog Groomer myself, who practices Fear Free Grooming, I would like to speak up for my profession. Not all Groomers are like the ones who have been previously mentioned. Some of us love our clients as they were our own. We love taking care of them, pampering them, spoiling them, and making them look and feel their best. So please don’t let people judge all of us because of a few. Thanks Noods!

Hi Noods,
Can I ask how long it was before you were the perfect little sasy girl that sits perfectly still while your momma grooms you. I hate it and attack, bite, struggle every single day with the brush or comb, let alone my tear stained eyes, I’m a Maltipoo like you, my momma bribes me with constant treatos but I still am in attack mode between each treat. I’m still a baby. I’m not as grown up and good like you….. my momma dreams about me being a good boy like the good little girl you are. Lots of luv to you Noods from Australia….p.s. I adore your wardrobe and accessories….go Noods. ❤️🐾🐾🐾🐾

Ms. Noodles, I was just wondering if you have a current boyfriend? I have a very handsome black tan Chiweenie named Chico that I just know would be able to pamper you on weekends. I would love to be a mom in le to a beautiful sassy lady like you..

Thank you so so much for the grooming tips and tool recommendations! Now we save so much money grooming not only our Cavapoo who reminds me of Noods, but also our big Aussiepoo too! We’re such huge fans of Noodles!
