Goldendoodle Breed Maintenance
The Goldendoodle can have either a thick, Retriever-like coat (this may not be hypoallergenic) or a loosely curled coat (hypoallergenic). As these dogs have a dense, double coat that is highly prone to matting or trapping of dirt, they require a lot of grooming. These busy canines should have their coats brushed with a slicker brush a few times a week in order to prevent mats from forming. Generally, a professional trim is required every 8 to 12 weeks. With a coat that constantly grows, you will need to to make sure that the fur around their eyes, hind end, footpads, and ears is trimmed on a regular basis. These dogs have floppy ears and you should monitor for ear infections, particularly if your dog is a swimmer or is highly active. As with all dogs, teeth cleaning should be done weekly when possible in order to prevent dental disease.
Goldendoodles often suffer from patellar luxation, elbow dysplasia, and other serious health conditions. Secure pet health insurance today to avoid high veterinary care costs.
