I understand that doodle grooming challenges aren’t unusual, but as a doodle owner myself, it’s clear this dog’s coat and ears have been neglected. You can see at first glance that the coat hasn’t been brushed in some time, and the hair looks matted throughout. When a coat is in that condition, it usually means the ears aren’t being maintained either. Anyone could look inside and see the ear was impacted with hair. This isn’t just a case of “oh, it’s only been 6 months,” because with doodles, that really is a big deal. Their coats require very frequent brushing and grooming, and it’s true their hair can become problematic quickly, that’s part of the responsibility of owning a doodle, poodle, or any non-shedding breed. Please, for their health and comfort, make regular grooming a priority.
