Goldendoodle Dog Clippers and Grooming Kits
How to Groom a Goldendoodle at Home
Grooming your Goldendoodle at home can be simple once you understand their coat type and have the right tools. Goldendoodles are known for their thick, often curly or wavy coats which can trap dirt and form tangles if not cared for regularly. The areas most likely to mat are behind the ears, under the legs, around the collar, the tail and between the toes.
Whether you're completely new to grooming or have done a few trims before, using quiet and comfortable clippers will give you a smoother experience. Masterclip clippers are designed to glide through dense coats while keeping noise levels low so they are ideal for Goldendoodles that get nervous during grooming.
How Often Should You Groom a Goldendoodle?
Most owners find this routine works well:
• Brush the coat three to four times a week
• Give a full clip every 6 to 8 weeks
Sticking to this schedule helps prevent heavy matting and keeps the coat soft and manageable. Regular brushing also reduces shedding in straighter coated Goldendoodles.
Basic Grooming Steps for Goldendoodles
• Start by brushing through the coat to remove any knots
• Use quiet dog clippers for the body and sensitive areas
• Use grooming scissors to tidy the face, ears and paws for a neat finish
If your Goldendoodle has a particularly curly or wool type coat you may need to brush in sections to ensure all mats are removed before clipping.

Goldendoodle Grooming FAQs
How short should I clip my Goldendoodle?
Most owners prefer blade lengths that leave between 9 and 16 millimetres of coat. Shorter lengths are fine in summer but always leave enough coat for sun protection.
Why does my Goldendoodle mat so easily?
Their coat traps moisture and friction from harnesses or play can form small knots that tighten over time. Regular brushing and sectioning the coat before clipping helps prevent mats.
Are cordless clippers strong enough for Goldendoodles?
Yes. High quality cordless models like the MD Roamer are designed to handle dense coats while keeping noise low. For very thick coats a mains powered clipper can offer extra power.
Can I groom my Goldendoodle without bathing first?
You can but brushing and clipping is always easier on a clean coat. A bath followed by a full dry helps the blades move smoothly.
