Labradoodle Ear Care
Grooming Ears underside and inside.
The hair begins its journey deep in the ear canal. If this hair isn't removed the wax and other dirt might accumulate. This can result in an ear infection, either bacterial or yeast. You can tell when the doggie has hot ears that there is a problem and a trip to the vet will be in order. They will scratch their ears (A LOT) shake their head and the inside of their ear smell weird or bad.

I almost hesitate to tackle this one, but oral hygiene is an important factor in the long-term health of your Labradoodle.
Why do dogs need their teeth cleaned anyway?
Let’s first consider why our dogs would need their teeth cleaned when their wild cousins like wolves do not: diet and age. Wolves eat fresh raw meat, nuts or berries; these have no refined sugar or other highly processed ingredients. What we feed our doodles, no matter how high end, does. Some of us are probably more conscious of this than others. Age is also a factor; the average lifespan of a wolf in the wild is only eight yea ..read more
