🐶 Why Doodles Need Regular Grooming Every 4–6 Weeks
Doodles (like Goldendoodles, Labradoodles, and Bernedoodles) have beautiful, soft coats — but those coats need consistent care! Their unique mix of poodle curls and other breed textures means their fur doesn’t shed like most dogs. Instead, it tangles and mats easily, especially if left too long between grooms.
Here’s why keeping up with a 4–6 week grooming schedule is essential:
✂️ Prevents Painful Mats and Skin Problems
When doodle coats go too long without grooming, tangles turn into mats — tight clumps that pull on the skin and trap moisture, dirt, and bacteria. This can cause:
Skin irritation and infections
Pain when moving or being touched
Needing a full shave-down instead of a cute trim
Regular grooming keeps the coat clean, comfortable, and mat-free.
🧴 Keeps Their Coat Healthy and Manageable
Frequent grooming keeps oils evenly distributed and removes debris from the coat. This helps maintain that soft, fluffy texture doodle owners love — and makes brushing at home much easier!
🪮 Easier, Happier Grooming Visits
Dogs groomed on a regular schedule learn to enjoy the process. They’re less stressed, the appointment is faster, and the groomer can focus on styling rather than detangling. Waiting too long often means a longer, more uncomfortable visit for your pup.
💅 Maintains Overall Hygiene
Professional grooming includes:
Nail trimming (prevents joint issues)
Ear cleaning (reduces infections)
Sanitary trims (keeps them clean and odor-free)
These small details make a big difference in your doodle’s health and comfort.
🐾 Keeps That Cute Doodle Look!
The fluffy, teddy-bear style doodles are known for can only be maintained with consistent coat care. When you keep up every 4–6 weeks, the groomer can keep your dog’s coat at the perfect length and shape instead of having to “start over.”
