How Do I Groom My Goldendoodle? Coat Type of Goldendoodles

By Sherry Rupke

The curlier your goldendoodles coat the harder it is to take care of. If your dog is very low to non-shedding you will need to brush it at least every 2 days to prevent them from matting. You should also take your doodle to the groomer every 4-5 months. When you take your Goldendoodle to the groomer make sure to be very specific with the groomer as to how you want him/her groomed because I've seen some groomers groom goldendoodles like poodles, or totally shave them and owners have been horrified! Be specific and bring a picture in to show the groomer eaxactly what you want.

The first time your puppy is at the groomer (at 6 months or so) just get the groomer to give them a bath, clean the ears and cut the nails. You don't want them to do the whole 9 yards/clip them as it might scare you goldendoodle puppy. The next time your puppy is at the groomer you can get the groomer to clip them (so around 9 months).

You should only bathe your goldendoodle every 3-4 months as this strips all the essential oils out of the fur and is not good for them.

Coat type of goldendoodles?

Remember every goldendoodle has a different coat type! There is NO guarantee this will be a hypoallergenic or non-shedding dog although I've sold many goldendoodles to people with allergies with much success.

If you have allergies then it's best to get a goldendoodle with a wavy to curly coat. The curlier the coat the less your goldendoodle will shed. The straighter the coat the more your goldendoodle will shed

We can tell coat type when they are 6-7 weeks old and will help put the right puppy with you!

There are 2 different types of allergies. Most people are allergic to canine dander and are fine with poodles BUT if you're allergic to saliva (if you break out in hives and can't be around poodles) then you will be allergic to doodles as well.
