Here’s What You Should Know About Labradoodle Grooming

Updated: Nov 25, 2021

If you find yourself scrolling through cute dog videos on Instagram and planning to bring home a lifelong companion, it is important to understand that different breeds have different needs. Getting a labradoodle can perhaps be one of the best decisions you can take.


Having a furry friend around is one of the most therapeutic experiences. A furry friend around can help you calm your nerves and instantly brighten your day. But it is important to understand that getting a pet entails huge responsibilities, from getting them vaccinated to grooming them. Grooming an Australian Labradoodle is a very important part of properly caring for your pet, and it is important that you know what needs to be done. So here are some tips that you should keep in mind about grooming a labradoodle.


Coat Care


Labradoodles can be slightly tricky to groom. To ensure that the shine and luster of your pet’s curly coat are maintained, it is essential to cater to their grooming needs. While most people have the misconception that these dogs are easy to maintain as they have little to no grooming needs, but this is far from true. Your labradoodle must be groomed every 4-6 weeks by a professional groomer who has prior experience in grooming the breed. If this is not done regularly, their coat becomes matted due to the lack of shedding associated with the breed.





Regular Bathing


Bathing is another factor that contributes to your labradoodle’s coat health. To keep your furry friend’s coat clean and soft, we recommend giving them frequent baths with gentle shampoos. During the bath, you should ensure that your labradoodle is scrubbed, thoroughly rinsed, and dried appropriately. Combing their coat in the bath is also a good idea; all you need to do is apply a small amount of conditioner to ease the process and then make sure it is rinsed clear.


Ear and Eye Care


Grooming your labradoodle is not just about giving them a bath or brushing their coat. Their ear hair also needs to be trimmed and should be kept clear of hair. A groomer will know how to pluck this hair and remove it, so make sure you see a groomer who specializes in the breed. It is important to ensure that their hair around the ear is trimmed; making sure no water gets trapped in their ears because this can lead to irritation is also crucial.


Oral Care


As you take care of your own oral health, ensuring your pet’s oral health is also maintained is very important. Gum diseases are fairly common in dogs, so giving your dog hard dog food, toys for chewing, and providing them with regular tooth brushing will help reduce the tartar build-up on their teeth, keeping their breath fresh and their gums clean and healthy.

While grooming Labradoodles takes extra effort, these dogs are sure to bring happiness and joy to your home. If you are planning to make a new addition to your family, reach out to Sunrise Australian Labradoodle to get Labradoodle puppies for sale.
