Grooming Tips

When we got Charlie I honestly did not realize the care that goes in to grooming a goldendoodle. Before you commit to a goldendoodle I hope you know what goes in to grooming them. I swear Charlie’s coat takes more maintenance than mine. We take him to the groomer’s every three months and it costs more than my haircut. On that note, here is what I do day to day to take care of Charlie’s hair.

I try to brush Charlie every two days and demat as needed when mats are found 🙈COWBOY MAGIC IS YOUR FRIEND. It is a glorious detangler that lets your brush glide through your doodles hair. We use a slicker brush from Safari for daily use and a wire comb for thicker areas. The legs are the worst for developing matts on Charlie, so we try to give extra attention to them. We also use high quality treats like Polka Dog Cod Skins, Stella and Chewy’s Wild Weenies, and Bully Bundles Bully Sticks so he tolerates being brushed.

As for what we ask for at the groomers, we ask for a teddy bear cut with short ears and face rounded. We also ask for the body short and symmetrical. We truly love our groomer and she always listens to what we ask. We take Charlie to get groomed about every 3-4 months depending how lazy I am with brushing him. If you’re in the Boston area we go see Becky at B.Y.O.D Southie.
