Grooming Tips

Goldendoodles have a thick, curly coat that mats easily if not brushed regularly. Daily brushing between grooming appointments is essential. Ask your groomer for a "teddy bear cut" to keep maintenance manageable. Pay special attention to behind the ears, armpits, and collar area where mats form first.
