Grooming is an essential part of caring for your Doodle, as their curly or wavy coats require regular maintenance to prevent matting and keep them looking their best. While professional grooming is recommended every 6-8 weeks, there are several things you can do at home to keep your Doodle’s coat healthy between appointments.
Start with regular brushing—ideally a few times a week—to remove loose hair and prevent tangles. Use a slicker brush or a comb designed for curly coats, and pay special attention to areas prone to matting, such as behind the ears and under the legs. Regularly check your Doodle’s ears for signs of infection and clean them as needed. Trimming their nails and brushing their teeth are also important aspects of grooming that should be done regularly.
By incorporating these grooming habits into your routine, you’ll not only keep your Doodle looking great but also help maintain their overall health and comfort.
