Whether you have a Goldendoodle, Labradoodle, Bernedoodle, or another curly-coated mix, regular grooming is essential. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> So, how often should you groom your doodle? Let’s break it down. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> ✂️ <b> Every 6–8 Weeks: Full Haircut (Grooming Appointment) </b> </div> <div> Most doodles need a professional groom every 6 to 8 weeks. This includes: </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Bath &amp; blow-dry </div> <div> Haircut/style (usually a teddy bear or kennel cut) </div> <div> Nail trim </div> <div> Ear cleaning </div> <div> De-matting or brushing </div> <div> Waiting too long between haircuts can lead to severe matting, which may require a very short shave-down—not ideal for many owners or pets. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> &#55358;&#56828; <b> Every 2–3 Weeks: Bath at Home (Optional but Helpful) </b> </div> <div> Regular bathing at home (or at a self-wash station) every 2–3 weeks keeps your doodle smelling fresh and helps manage dirt and allergens. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> <b> Tip: </b> Use a doodle-friendly shampoo and always dry their coat thoroughly to prevent damp matting. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> &#55358;&#57006; <b> 2–3 Times a Week: Brushing at Home </b> </div> <div> Brushing is key to avoiding painful mats and tangles—especially in high-friction areas like: </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Behind the ears </div> <div> Under the collar/harness </div> <div> Armpits &amp; chest </div> <div> Around the tail &amp; legs </div> <div> Aim for 2–3 brushings per week (more if they swim or play in the mud). Use a slicker brush followed by a metal comb to reach down to the undercoat. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> &#55357;&#56382; <b> Why Regular Grooming Matters </b> </div> <div> Besides looking fabulous, consistent grooming: </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Keeps skin healthy and itch-free </div> <div> Prevents matting (which can cause discomfort or even infection) </div> <div> Reduces shedding and allergens </div> <div> Allows early detection of lumps, bumps, or parasites </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> &#55357;&#56481; <b> Pro Tips from Happy Paws Grooming (Morrison, CO) </b> </div> <div> Schedule ahead!
