Calling all pet parents! This week on the show, we're diving deep into the world of Doodles — and not the sketchbook kind. We're joined by Elina Panteleyeva and her adorable tri-colored mini Bernedoodle, Oscar, to talk all things Doodle hair care.

Forget your shampoo — this episode is all about those curly, fluffy, sometimes-matted coats that Doodle parents know all too well. As a proud Doodle mom and founder of DoodWoof, Elina has lived the tangle struggle. She’s taken that experience, combined it with serious research and chats with countless other Doodle owners, and built a brand that's become a grooming game-changer.

From the breakout success of her detangling spray to the new 5-in-1 miracle shampoo, Elina's business is growing fast — and she’s just getting started.

Tune in as we talk about grooming hacks, her journey from pet parent to product innovator, and why DoodWoof is quickly becoming every Doodle’s best friend (next to you, of course).
