The Labradoodle is one of the most interesting and charismatic breeds of our time. It appeared at the end of the twentieth century in Australia thanks to the idea to combine the best features of the Labrador Retriever and the Poodle. The goal was simple yet important: to develop an assistance dog for people with hair allergies. The result was a breed that quickly won hearts around the world. Labradoodles combine the intelligence and hypoallergenicity of a poodle with the gentle nature and friendliness of a Labrador, giving people a true friend.
The appearance of Labradoodles isextremely diverse. Their coat can be curly, wavy, or almost straight, and by type it is divided into the so-called “wool-wool”, “fleece”, or “fur coat”. The sizes also differ depending on which poodle was involved in the crossbreeding: there are mini-Labradoodles that weigh about ten kilograms and are convenient for living in an apartment, medium-sized ones that are suitable for more active owners, and standard ones that reach more than half a meter at the withers and look like real plush giants. The Australian Labradoodles deserve special attention, where not only Labradors and Poodles, but also Cocker Spaniels were involved in their creation. It is thanks to this selection that they have acquired an even more stable character and special charm.
The character of Labradoodles is a real pleasure for the owner. They are extremely friendly, intelligent and loyal, and get along well with children and other animals. They are dogs that enjoy active walks, games, and cozy evenings with their family in equal measure. Their life expectancy is usually between twelve and sixteen years, making them reliable friends for many years.
However, it is the coat of Labradoodles that requires special attention. It is prone to tangles and quickly loses its neat appearance without regular grooming. Therefore, grooming Labradoodles is a real necessity. Regular combing and professional haircuts help keep the dog healthy, make it easy to care for, and extremely beautiful. In V.O.G DOG SALON in Kyiv, our groomers know all the secrets of working with Labradoodles – from miniature to large Australian. We select the style of Labradoodle haircut taking into account the type of coat and the owner’s wishes, combining aesthetics and convenience for the animal.

Detailed description of grooming procedures for Labradoodles at V.O.G DOG SALON
✅ Claw trimming:
Labradoodle nails grow quickly, and if they are not trimmed in time, the dog becomes uncomfortable walking, changes posture, and may even experience pain. At V.O.G DOG SALON, we perform nail trimming with special tools, without pain and stress for the animal. The procedure makes the dog's movements easy and comfortable, and the paws remain healthy.
✅ Combing:
Labradoodles' hair tends to get tangled quickly, especially if it is not brushed regularly. Therefore, the procedure begins with a thorough combing with professional tools that do not damage the hair and skin. This allows you to remove dead hair, make the coat airy and prepare it for the next stages of grooming.
✅ Bathing:
Bathing is carried out using specialized cosmetics selected individually for the type of coat of your Labradoodle. Mild shampoos and conditioners help to preserve the natural structure of the hair, add shine and elasticity. The groomer performs a light massage during the washing process, which relaxes the dog and improves blood microcirculation.
✅ Labradoodle haircut:
The main stage of grooming is a haircut, which creates a neat appearance and at the same time facilitates home care. In V.O.G DOG SALON, the haircut is performed according to an individual scheme: we take into account the type of coat, the dog's lifestyle, and the owner's wishes. Thanks to this, the Labradoodle looks well-groomed but retains its natural charm.
✅ Paw care:
Labradoodle's paws require special attention, as the hair between the toes often gets tangled and interferes with the dog. We gently trim it, giving the paws a neat shape, and trim the nails to a safe length. The paw pads are cleaned and treated to make the dog feel comfortable even during active walks.
✅ Ear and eye hygiene:
Labradoodle ears are closed, so they are prone to dirt and moisture accumulation. Groomers gently clean them with professional products that reduce the risk of inflammation. The area around the eyes is also treated: the hair is trimmed so as not to irritate the mucous membranes, and the dog's gaze becomes open and expressive.
✅ Final styling:
The final stage is drying and styling the coat with a hair dryer with an adjustable air flow. We give the coat lightness and volume, emphasize the silhouette of the haircut. After the procedure, the dog leaves the salon well-groomed and in a great mood.
10 popular questions and answers about Labradoodle care
When is it time to take your Labradoodle puppy to the first grooming?
It is better to introduce your baby to grooming immediately after the vaccination is completed, i.e. at about 10-12 weeks of age. This will help them get used to the procedure easily and avoid stress in the future. And for puppies, we have special adaptive complexes where the puppy receives hygiene in the most humane and calm environment, where it gets used to the fact that grooming is a friend, not an enemy.
How often do I need to take my Labradoodle to the grooming salon?
Usually every 6-8 weeks, especially for those with longer or curlier hair. It helps to keep the coat neat and prevents tangles.
How often should I bathe my Labradoodle and with what products?
Bathing is recommended once every 3-4 weeks, but depends on the dog's activity: if he walks or swims a lot, more often. It's important to use special shampoos for dogs, as human shampoos can dry out the skin and wash away natural protection.
Is it necessary to use air conditioning?
Yes. The conditioner moisturizes, detangles and makes the coat easier to comb
How do you deal with wool tangles?
If the Labradoodle's coat is already spoiled with knots, it is difficult to comb them out - sometimes you have to trim them slightly or use special tools. The main thing is regular combing and delicacy during the procedure.
How often should Labradoodle puppies be trimmed?
A haircut should be planned after the first visit to the groomer, from about the same age - 10-12 weeks. But this is just a light trimming. This way they get used to the process and in the future it will be easy. And a full haircut can only be talked about after 5-6 months, depending on individual characteristics.
What haircut suits Labradoodles best?
The most popular are the classic "teddy bear" haircut, which gives the dog the look of a fluffy bear, and practical shortened versions for active pets. The choice depends on the type of coat and the dog's lifestyle, and the best solution will always be suggested by the groomer in the salon.
Is nail trimming safe at home?
If you are confident and already know how, you can. But it is important not to touch the living pulp, otherwise it will be painful. If you have no experience, it is better to contact a professional groomer or veterinarian.
What to do if a Labradoodle is afraid of grooming?
Start with short, comfortable sessions at home, using treats and praise. If necessary, start with light brushing, gradually getting used to the sounds and touches, so the process itself will have positive associations.
Can I cut my Labradoodle short in the summer?
It is not recommended to cut the hair of a Labradoodle too short, as the coat protects the skin from the sun and overheating. It's better to have a neat, short haircut that keeps the dog comfortable and looks stylish at the same time.
