Goldendoodles have curly or wavy coats that trap dirt, so they need regular bathing to prevent matting. We recommend bathing every 4 to 6 weeks, or monthly, for non-active Goldendoodles. It is important to thoroughly brush before bathing to prevent mats from tightening, and take them for regular grooming every 6 to 8 weeks to maintain their coat, nails, and ears. For more active dogs who get dirty or smelly quickly, bathing every 1 to 2 weeks may be necessary. Lillian Ruff provides dog shampoo and conditioner to help maintain Goldendoodles' coats at the proper pH balance.
