How Often Should a Goldendoodle Be Groomed?
Goldendoodles have captured hearts with their adorable faces, joyful personalities, and irresistibly fluffy coats. But behind that teddy bear charm lies a high-maintenance grooming reality that many pet parents are unprepared for.

& Every 2-3 Weeks for Maintenance
How Often Should You Groom a Goldendoodle?
Goldendoodles should be professionally groomed every 4 to 6 weeks for a full grooming—and every 2 to 3 weeks for in-between maintenance appointments
The High-Maintenance Truth About Goldendoodles
Goldendoodles are a cross between Golden Retrievers and Poodles, which means their coats can vary—some have soft waves, others tight curls. But what they all have in common is a tendency to mat, trap debris, and hide skin issues beneath their fluffy surface.
These coats require:
- Frequent brushing at home (ideally daily)
- Professional grooming every 4–6 weeks
- Bath & brush appointments between full grooms to prevent matting and coat damage
When not properly maintained, the coat tangles close to the skin and can only be remedied by shaving down—something most pet parents want to avoid.
What Happens Without Routine Grooming?
Without consistent grooming, Goldendoodles are at risk for:
- Severe matting, which is painful and traps bacteria
- Skin infections or hot spots that go unnoticed under thick hair
- Excessive shedding, especially if the coat isn’t brushed properly
- Stressful grooming experiences
Matting doesn’t happen overnight—it’s the result of skipping one too many appointments. And in our Georgia climate, where humidity and allergens affect the skin, skipping maintenance puts your doodle at risk.
