March Curly-Coat Meetup
March 14, 2026 | 5:00–7:00 PM
📍 Bowie Barker | 640 S. Wabash
Join us for an intimate, community-forward evening created especially for doodle parents and pups with curly, fluffy, coarse, wavy, or hard-to manage coats. This month, SouthLoopDoods is teaming up with our friends at Bowie Barker for a hands-on coat-care experience designed to help you keep your pup looking and feeling their best between grooming appointments.
We’ll kick things off with a practical, demo‑style session led by the Bowie Barker team, followed by relaxed hang‑out time, because great coats and great company deserve to be enjoyed.
Who This Event Is For
To keep this experience focused and truly hands‑on, this meetup is prioritized for doodles and dogs with curly, fluffy, wavy or coarse coats. The coats that tend to need a little extra love between grooming visits.
If that sounds like your pup, you’re exactly who this night is for. We kindly ask that families outside this category sit this one out so we can make the most of our limited spots for those who will benefit most.
