Goldendoodle

There’s no need to wait until your Goldendoodle is filthy or stinky to bathe them. Most do well with 1 to 3 baths monthly, though may be bathed as often as weekly, or as little as a few times a year depending on the dog. Make sure to comb or cut out any mats before bathing, since water makes mats even more difficult to remove. You can extend the time between your Goldendoodle's baths with regular brushing and combing.

Goldendoodle coats mat easily, and if left alone often mat into a solid, uncomfortable mass that must be shaved off entirely. Daily combing and brushing down to the skin will help prevent this, but many Goldendoodle owners have a groomer clip their dog's coat short every 6 to 8 weeks to prevent matting entirely.

The key to your Goldendoodle having a shiny, healthy coat can be found both on the inside and on the outside of a dog. Good health, good nutrition and veterinary-prescribed parasite control will contribute to a healthy, shiny coat. Regular combing, brushing and bathing as needed will keep a Doodle's healthy coat looking great.
