Question 1

How often should a Goldendoodle be groomed?

Accepted Answer

Every 6-8 weeks is standard. Dogs that play outside often or have longer coats benefit from more frequent visits to prevent matting.

Question 2

What doodle cuts do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Teddy bear, puppy clip, kennel cut, and modified breed standard. Show us a photo. We'll match it as closely as the coat allows.

Question 3

My doodle mats easily. Can TLC help?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We assess mat level at check-in and discuss options before starting. Doodle coats mat fastest behind the ears and in the armpits. We know where to look.

Question 4

How much does Goldendoodle grooming cost at TLC?

Accepted Answer

Full groom starts at $100 for 21-40 lb, $135 for 41-90 lb, and $170 for 91 lb+. A small deposit holds your slot and comes off your groom, refundable with 24+ hours notice.

Question 5

Do you crate doodles during grooming?

Accepted Answer

No crating. Your dog is with a groomer from arrival to pickup. We don't use cage dryers either. It's a calmer experience.

Question 6

My doodle is anxious at the groomer. Can TLC handle that?

Accepted Answer

That's our specialty. We've built a reputation among Ottawa doodle owners for patience with anxious and reactive dogs. Call us before booking.

Question 7

What should I bring for my doodle's first visit?

Accepted Answer

Proof of current rabies and bordetella vaccinations is required for all first-time clients. If your dog has a preferred cut or reacts to anything specific, mention it at drop-off. Our groomers take notes.

Question 8

How do I book a doodle grooming appointment at TLC?

Accepted Answer

Online booking takes about 2 minutes at tlc4dogs.com (our booking system). Or call (613) 745-5808 and we'll find the right slot. Popular times fill first. Call for the nearest opening.
