Why MyCavoodle Shampoo is the Best Choice for Your Cavoodle

Hey, I’m Bella, the heart and soul behind the brand MyCavoodle. After bringing home my adorable cavoodle puppy Bambi, I soon realised there was a gap in the market: despite the countless shampoos on the shelf, none were made specifically for cavoodles (or oodle-mixes) who have sensitive skin needs and unique coats that require high maintenance and professional grooms every couple of weeks..

So I teamed up with a specialised pet chemist in Sydney, Australia, to create a formulation built with my cavoodle furbaby and her specific needs in mind. The result? A product born of love and breed-specific insight, not a one-size-fits-all shampoo like many that are on the market today.

So let's unpack why MyCavoodle shampoo and conditioner are better for your cavoodle over generic brands on the market and why over 25,000+  cavoodle (and oodle) owners love them australia-wide!

Great For Sensitive Skin

Cavoodles have famously delicate and sensitive skin that can react to strong detergents, perfumes, or harsh grooming products. That’s why the MyCavoodle Shampoo was developed from scratch with sensitivity front of mind not as an afterthought. Every bottle is loaded with the good stuff:

• pH-balanced for cavoodles.
  Your cavoodle’s skin has a different pH level than humans, meaning human or generic dog shampoos can easily throw it off balance, causing dryness, flakiness, or itchiness. MyCavoodle’s formula is perfectly balanced to maintain your dog’s natural skin barrier, protecting it from irritation and keeping their coat soft and hydrated after every wash. We picked every ingredient in there!
  

• Hypoallergenic and safe for puppies.
  Made with gentle, non-irritating ingredients, this shampoo is suitable for even the most sensitive skin types including young puppies whose skin is still developing. You can use it from their very first bath with confidence, knowing there are no hidden irritants or harsh surfactants that could cause redness or allergic flare-ups. As a cavoodle owner and breeder myself I’ve personally used on cavoodle puppies at the young age of 2 weeks old, so perfectly safe!
  

• Free from sulphates and parabens.
  Many shampoos rely on sulphates to create foam and parabens as preservatives but both can strip natural oils from your dog’s coat and dry out the skin underneath. The MyCavoodle blend skips them entirely, using coconut-derived cleansers that are plant-based, cleanse effectively while remaining ultra-gentle. That means a beautiful lather without the harsh aftermath. It was not easy to find ingredients that worked while also maintaining an amazing lather on the oodle coat but I’m proud to say our final formula lathers beautifully! Stay away from products which contain sodium lauryl sulphate also known as sls that can dry out the skin and strip natural oils.
  

• Tear-free and soap-free for a calm, safe, soothing bath time.
  Bath time shouldn’t be stressful. The tear-free, soap-free formula ensures no stinging eyes, no irritation, and no lingering residue. You can lather around your cavoodle’s face, ears, and paws knowing they’ll come out clean, relaxed, and wagging not running for cover.
  

• Plant-based and biodegradable — an ethical, gentle choice for skin and planet.
  The MyCavoodle Shampoo is as kind to the environment as it is to your pup. We included ingredients that are plant-derived and biodegradable, meaning it’s gentle on waterways and septic systems while remaining safe and soothing on sensitive skin. It’s the perfect match for eco-conscious pet parents who want the best for their cavoodle and the planet.
  
  

If you’ve ever struggled with a cavoodle scratching, shedding flakes or their coat just looking dull, this formula is built to soothe, soften, shine, and make them fluffy!

Tailored for High-Maintenance Coats Prone to Mats

Let’s be real: that teddy-bear look of your cavoodle means fluff, curls, waves and a high risk of mats and tangles. Our cavoodle shampoo makes life easier helping maintain the coast in between grooms by keeping them super soft because:

• Our mycavoodle cavoodle shampoo and conditioner products were formulated with cavoodle coats front of mind, to “soften matting and knots”.
  

• The plant-based coconut-derived cleansers and detangling detangling ingredients we used in our formulas help reduce friction which creates those mats meaning less brushing needed
  

• Our leave in conditioner product is extremely unique and can be used on a wet or dry coat. This means in the dry coat it can be rubbed on a knot, left in to soften so you can come back with the comb or slicker brush and not just have to cut it out!
  

• Use with complementary tools (brushes, slicker) and you’ll find those dreaded mats are fewer and easier to manage. Our grooming starter kit reinforces how important detangling is.
  
  

Soothing, Hydrating & Lightweight - Hello Shiny Coat!

We all want our cavoodles coat looking lush like velvet, soft and smelling amazing for days. 

When I was trying to find a shampoo and conditioner on the market for my cavoodle bambi I could not find one that didn’t leave her coat heavy, full or dry. 

What I realised is that the cavoodle and mixed poodle coats so groodles, moodles, labradoodles, spoodles all have really similar coat requirements. They are different than day your short or hair shedding breeds like a jack russel or a German Shepard, they are completely different coats… 

So why do we buy products that aren't best for our breed?

mycavoodle products are specially tailored for cavoodles to make your life easier when picking products for your furbaby!

That's why we have developed the very first Cavoodle shampoo & conditioner in the world from scratch made specifically with the cavoodle breed in mind!

But many other oodle pawrents have caught onto how good our formula is at reducing knots, keeping the skin itch free and the coat soft, fluffy and shiny. That's why now we have lots poodle, spoodle, moodle, groodle, labradoodle owners and other breeds who also swear by our products now!

What makes them so good is we have lots of hydrating ingredients in our cavoodle shampoo and conditioner like Aloe vera + beta-glucan (oat-based moisturiser) + vitamin E which is great for soothing skin + boosted coat health.
Almond oil and coconut oil to add moisture and help prevent flaking. Because the formula is gentle and lightweight (no heavy waxes or silicones weighing the coat down), your cavoodle is left with a shine, not a limp or greasy look. (this is what I experienced with other products when I first got Bambi).

Endorsed by Groomers - It Cuts Down Grooming Time

When industry professionals say “this works”, you know the formula has been tested in real-world high-maintenance coats. We have many professional groomers who use MyCavoodle on their oodle clients as it actually cuts down on grooming time and they find they need to brush less during the grooming process

Feedback is that the MyCavoodle formulation helps to detangle, hydrate and soften and usually reduces grooming time: fewer mats to cut out, less brushing agony, less stress for groomer and fur-mum/dad alike.

Proudly Australian-Made in Sydney

I was obsessed with creating a cavoodle shampoo that was formulated and make right here in Australia and I’m proud to say::

• The shampoo, conditioner and cologne spray is proudly Australian made, crafted by “elite pet chemists in Sydney”

• Mycavoodle is Fully Australian-owned and operated, purpose-built for the Aussie cavoodle community.

• When you buy this product you’re supporting local manufacturing, local expertise, and a brand that genuinely understands its audience (that is, cavoodle lovers!).

Beware of white Labelled products (And Why It Matters)

In the world of pet care, not all shampoos are created equal, even when the label might make it look that way. Many dog grooming products on the market today are “white-labelled”, meaning a manufacturer produces a generic shampoo formula that multiple brands can purchase, repackage, and re-sell under different names.

While white labelling isn’t necessarily bad, it does mean that many so-called “oodle-specific” shampoos aren’t actually designed from scratch for your cavoodle’s unique needs. Instead, they’re often standard dog shampoos with new labels and clever marketing, not new formulations.

MyCavoodle Shampoo is not a white-label product. It’s been custom-formulated in Sydney, developed in partnership with Australian chemists who built the formula from the ground up for oodle-type coats, especially cavoodles who need lightweight, detangling, hydrating care that doesn’t weigh the coat down.

Beware of imitation brands that claim to be “formulated for oodles.”
If they don’t clearly state:

• Where the product is made,

• Who formulated it, and

• What makes it breed-specific,

…chances are it’s a generic base with a fancy sticker.

How It Stacks Up Against Generic Dog Shampoos

Because of these differences, you’ll find that using MyCavoodle isn’t just a bath-time ritual,  it’s a grooming upgrade. For a cavoodle owner who cares about coat health, skin comfort and less time wrestling their pup with a mat-brush, this is a premium, intelligent choice.

How to Use for Best Results

1. Wet your cavoodle thoroughly (coat down to skin).
   

2. Massage a generous amount of MyCavoodle shampoo into the coat (avoid eyes & inside ears)or use on our silicon shampoo brush.
   

3. Rinse completely and do a second shampoo and rinse again.
   

4. Follow with leave-in conditioner (especially helpful if your pup has curly or woolly coat) or brush while the coat is damp to prevent tangles.
   

5. Dry with a towel and finish with a slicker brush for a fluffy finish.
   

6. Between full baths (every week is a good rule-of-thumb for cavoodles) use a leave-in conditioner or cologne spray to keep the coat fresh. mycavoodle
   
   

If you’re a proud cavoodle (or oodle) parent like me and you’re tired of compromising with “any old dog shampoo”, give your pup the luxury they deserve. MyCavoodle Shampoo is a standout because it is specifically designed for cavoodles in mind from sensitive skin and high-maintenance coat to grooming time and local Aussie pride.

Choose it, and watch your fluff-ball shine, stay tangle-free and become the envy of the dog-park.
