Bathing
-
Bathe every 4–6 weeks or as needed.

Use a high-quality dog shampoo and conditioner.

Always brush before bathing to prevent mats from tightening.

Dry thoroughly after baths, damp coats can lead to skin irritation.
Nail Care
-
Trim nails every 3–4 weeks.

If you hear nails clicking on the floor, it’s time for a trim.

Don’t forget the dewclaws if your doodle has them.
Eye Care
