Dood Grooming Tips

Goldendoodles' coats are diverse, varying in color, length, and curliness, which contribute to their unique individuality. However, the key to their alluring appearance is proper coat care. Proper dog grooming is essential for your furry friend’s health and well-being.

Remember to be patient, use treats, and keep grooming positive and fun for your dog.


Here are some tips to help keep your dog looking and feeling their best:

Brush Regularly:

  • Several brushing sessions a week are ideal, but daily attention is even better. Brushing stimulates blood circulation, removes dead coat, and prevents matting. Use the appropriate brush based on your dog’s coat texture and length. For long-haired dogs, use pin brushes; for short to medium coats, bristle brushes work well. A dog dematting rake is a great addition to your grooming tools. Bathing:

  • Regular baths are necessary, but not too frequent. A bath once a month, or when they get particularly dirty, is sufficient. Bathing too often can strip the coat of its natural oils, causing it to become dry and dull. Use a mild shampoo formulated for dogs. Wet your dog, apply shampoo, and rinse thoroughly. Make sure to avoid getting water in their ears during bathing time. Washing the head and face first seems to work best! Trimming Nails:

  • Don’t forget about the nails! Regular nail trims keep your dood comfortable and prevents potential health issues. Be cautious not to cut the quick when trimming your dog’s nails. Nails can be clipped or grinded as tolerated by your pup.


These basic maintenance grooming tips will cut down on matting, keep your dog comfortable and looking sharp between professional visits.
