How often should I feed my Goldendoodle puppy?
Goldendoodle puppies typically do best with three meals per day until around six months old, then transition to two meals per day unless otherwise recommended by your veterinarian.
What's the best way to start crate training?
Choose a crate large enough to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably. Make it a positive space with a soft bed and a safe chew toy, begin with short sessions, and gradually increase the time.
How long does potty training usually take?
Most Goldendoodle puppies understand the basics within 2–4 weeks, but full reliability can take several months. Take them out frequently — after meals, play, naps, and first thing in the morning.
How much exercise does a Goldendoodle puppy need?
Aim for short, gentle play sessions — about 5 minutes of activity per month of age, twice a day. Avoid long runs or intense exercise while their joints are still developing.
What grooming supplies should I have?
A slicker brush, metal comb, puppy-safe shampoo, nail clippers, and ear-cleaning solution are essentials. Brush several times a week to prevent matting.
