Curly-coated dog owners, rejoice.

Founded by dog lover and former grooming facility manager Priscilla “Pri” Barletta, g’oodles was born out of years spent watching pet owners walk out of grooming salons, heartbroken when their beloved oodles were returned almost bald.
Groomers were exhausted, dogs were uncomfortable, and owners were frustrated. Pri knew there had to be a better way.
“My passion quickly became educating owners on how to maintain their dogs’ coats,” she tells Best Picks.
“All I want to do is ease the pressure on groomers, make dogs comfortable and educate owners.
“These breeds are often sold as low maintenance, but I wouldn’t call a dog that needs to be brushed every day low maintenance.”
That honesty has struck a chord with Aussie pet parents, especially those raising Cavoodles, Groodles, Labradoodles, Spoodles and other curly-coated breeds.
Even owners of long-haired dachshunds, Cocker Spaniels and Maremmas have reported amazing results.
The game-changing range
The current g’oodles lineup features two products, both proudly Australian-made, vegan and cruelty-free.
They’re also free from parabens, sulphates and TEA, and packaged in 100 per cent recycled PET bottles.
Detangling Spray: This lightweight leave-in conditioner is designed to loosen knots, hydrate curls, and make brushing pain-free on wet or dry coats. The trick is to use it before bath time.
“Water makes knots and matts worse,” Pri explains.
“So what you want to do is spray and brush before washing them, otherwise you’re just tightening the tangles.”
Detangling Shampoo: A nourishing, gentle wash enriched with jojoba oil, chamomile and wheat protein to soften fur, reduce matting and leave coats fresh and fluffy.
When used together, the results are dramatic. Pet owners are reporting easier brushing sessions, faster grooming times and noticeably shinier, healthier coats.
Groomers are also welcoming the products, saying they’ve reduced the number of shave-downs needed in their salons.
Why it matters for curly-coated breeds
Oodles are one of the most popular dog breeds in Australia, but their coats are notoriously high-maintenance.
Without regular brushing and proper detangling, their curls quickly turn into painful matts that can only be removed by clipping the hair short. It’s uncomfortable for dogs and heartbreaking for owners.
That’s where g’oodles is stepping in. “We saw a clear gap in the market for dogs with high-maintenance coats,” Pri says.
“Oodles deserve products designed specifically for them, not just generic shampoos that don’t address the real problem.”
Affordable at-home grooming
The g’oodles range is available online, with bundles like the “It Takes Two to Detangle” pack offering both the shampoo and spray for under $50 AUD.
For pet parents, it means fewer costly trips to the groomer and a happier, healthier pup at home.
Whether your dog has a full head of curls or just a tendency towards tangling, g’oodles is offering a better grooming experience for pets and owners alike.
No more tears, no more stressful brushes and no more shaved-down surprises at the salon. Just fluffy, knot-free coats and wagging tails.
