Care & Life With Your Doodle
Tackle behavior, adjust care with the seasons, and travel safely together.
Behavior Challenges
High energy can lead to chewing/hyperactivity without enough exercise. Many doodles also struggle with separation anxiety.
Seasonal Care
Adjust grooming, exercise, and protection for heat, cold, and wet conditions to keep coats, paws, and skin healthy year-round.
Traveling With a Doodle
Use a crash-tested harness or crate in cars, and airline-compliant carriers for flights. Pack water, breaks, and comfort items.
★Grooming Essentials
Keep your doodle comfy, mat-free, and photo-ready with these simple habits.
Frequent Brushing
Doodles’ coats need daily or near-daily brushing to prevent matting.
Professional Grooming
Regular visits help keep their coat healthy, shaped, and free of mats.
Ear Care
Check and gently clean ears often to prevent wax buildup and irritation.
Doodle Dogs (Poodle Mixes)
Typically — affectionate — companions with big hearts and bigger personalities.
Doodle dogs, or Poodle mixes, combine a Poodle with another breed (often a retriever) to create a companion that’s often affectionate, intelligent, and low-shedding—though traits vary by parent breeds and lineage.
They thrive with early socialization and consistent, positive training to become well-behaved family pets.
While crossbreeding can offer some health benefits, Doodles can still inherit issues from their parent breeds—so choosing a responsible breeder (or reputable rescue) is essential for a healthy, happy dog.
