Maintenance
It is recommended to brush a Goldendoodle 2-3 times a week to prevent matting and keep the coat healthy and well-groomed. Baths can be given every 4-6 weeks with products suitable for the coat's texture.
Brushing
The Goldendoodle's wavy or curly coat requires regular care to prevent mats and tangles. Brushing several times a week with a comb helps keep the coat knot-free, while ventilating the skin and maintaining the coat's beautiful texture.
Clipping
Goldendoodles typically need regular clipping to keep their coat manageable and free of mats.
Many opt for a practical everyday clip, keeping the coat at a moderate length, while others prefer a more natural and voluminous look with longer hair. Areas around the eyes, paws, and private parts should be kept well-groomed for comfort and hygiene.
Special attention
Pay special attention to areas behind the ears, on the chest, in the armpits, and on the legs, where mats can easily form. Ears should be checked regularly, as the dense coat and drooping ears can create a moist environment.
Recommended grooming visits
A professional grooming visit every 4-8 weeks is recommended to keep the coat healthy and free of mats. The visit can include bathing, blow-drying, clipping, ear checks, nail trimming, and general coat care.
Brushes for Goldendoodles
The Goldendoodle's wavy or curly coat requires regular brushing to prevent matting and keep the coat healthy and well-groomed.
It is recommended to use a brush for daily coat care and a comb to go through denser areas, ensuring the coat is free of knots all the way down to the skin.
Areas such as behind the ears, under the legs, on the chest, and around the collar or harness often require extra attention, as the fur in these places tends to tangle more easily.
During periods of potentially increased shedding, it may be beneficial to brush more often to remove loose hairs and prevent tangles.
A conditioning spray can make brushing easier, reduce wear and tear on the coat, and add moisture and shine.


Shampoo and conditioner for Goldendoodles
Goldendoodles should be bathed every 4-6 weeks with a moisturizing shampoo suitable for their coat texture and gentle on the skin.
A conditioner after bathing helps keep the coat soft, adds moisture, and makes it easier to comb through, which can help prevent matting.
After bathing, it is important to dry the coat thoroughly. A blow dryer is often a great help, as moisture trapped close to the skin can increase the risk of mats and skin irritation.
Regular baths combined with proper drying and brushing contribute to a healthy, airy, and well-groomed coat.

Clipping a Goldendoodle
A Goldendoodle's coat grows continuously and therefore requires regular clipping to remain healthy and well-groomed.
Most Goldendoodles are clipped every 2-3 months, depending on coat length and desired look. Regular clipping helps prevent matting and makes daily coat care easier.
Typical areas for clipping include:
• Body and legs to maintain a practical length
• Around the eyes for better visibility
• Paws for better hygiene and footing
• Around the private area for increased comfort and cleanliness

General for Goldendoodles
Ears: Goldendoodle's floppy ears should be checked and cleaned weekly to prevent wax buildup, moisture, and irritation. The thick fur around the ears can create a moist environment, increasing the risk of ear problems.
Teeth: Regular brushing helps prevent tartar and contributes to healthy oral hygiene. Chews and dental snacks can also be a good supplement to daily dental care.
Paw pads and nose: It is recommended to keep both paw pads and nose moisturized to prevent dryness and cracking, especially in periods of frost, heat, or dry air.

Nail Clippers for Goldendoodles
Goldendoodles are active dog breeds that require regular nail care to ensure good comfort and a natural movement pattern.
Nail clippers for medium or large dogs provide good control and make it easier to cut nails safely and precisely.
It is important to check their nails regularly, as they do not always wear down sufficiently naturally – especially for dogs that primarily walk on soft surfaces.
