Pro Tip: Make brushing a routine. Pair it with treats or a post-grooming cuddle session so your pup actually looks forward to it. Before you know it, they'll be strutting around like the star of their own grooming TikTok, Instagram, or the Bark-Of-The-Town!
Goldendoodle coats are a hybrid wonder of world—part Poodle, part Golden Retriever, and 100% prone to matting. A slicker brush is your first line of defense. The metal bristles are gentle enough for your pup's sensitive skin but strong enough to undo knots and remove loose entangled hair. Bonus: It feels like a mini massage for your dog, which means less squirming and more bonding time.
Step-by-Step Grooming Massage
- Start with a Plan: Brush your doodle at least three times a week. Yes, three. It’s the difference between a smooth grooming session and a matted disaster that requires costly professional intervention.
- Divide and Conquer: Split their coat into sections—legs, body, and head. Work methodically from the bottom up to avoid missing spots.
- The Detangling Dance: Gently work through tangles without ripping and yanking. For stubborn mats, use a spritz of your favorite detangling spray.
- Go With the Flow: Always brush in the direction the hair grows to avoid breakage or irritation.
