In this video, I put a brand-new shampoo and conditioner line called Crown Coat to the test on a Goldendoodle. The claim is a long-lasting clean and scent—and as a certified groomer (I’ve been doing this since 2003), I don’t take product hype at face value. I walk you through what I look for in a bathing system on a curly, high-maintenance coat: how it cleans, how it feels during the bath, how it supports the coat through drying, and what kind of finish you get when you’re going for that fluffy, polished look. I also share my real-world approach: I’m not just judging smell—I’m watching lather, rinse-ability, coat response, and whether the conditioner actually helps the coat behave without feeling heavy. If you groom at home, this is the kind of test you want to see before you spend your money. And if you’re a working groomer, you’ll understand why “long-lasting scent” only matters if the coat is genuinely clean and the finish is worth the time. Crown Coat is exclusive to Groomer’s Choice, so I’ll also point you to where you can find it if you want to try it for your own dogs or clients.
