Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Goldendoodle puppies typically do best with three meals per day until they’re around six months old. Spacing meals throughout the day helps regulate their blood sugar, supports steady growth, and prevents overeating. Once they reach six months, most puppies can transition to two meals per day unless otherwise recommended by your veterinarian.
-
Choose a crate that’s appropriately sized for your Goldendoodle puppy—large enough to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably, but not so big that they can use one side as a bathroom. Make the crate a positive space with a soft bed and a safe chew toy. Begin with short sessions, keep the door open at first, and gradually increase the time your puppy spends inside. Consistency and calm praise go a long way.
-
Most Goldendoodle puppies understand the basics of potty training within 2–4 weeks, but full reliability can take several months. Puppies thrive on routine, so take them out frequently—after meals, after playtime, after naps, and first thing in the morning. Expect occasional accidents as part of the process. With structure and positive reinforcement, Goldendoodles tend to pick up potty training quickly.
-
Goldendoodles are energetic and playful, but puppies still need plenty of rest. Aim for short, gentle play sessions throughout the day—about 5 minutes of activity per month of age, twice a day. Avoid long runs or intense exercise while their joints are still developing.
-
A slicker brush, metal comb, puppy-safe shampoo, nail clippers, and ear-cleaning solution are essentials. Brushing several times a week helps prevent matting and keeps their coat healthy as it changes from baby fluff to adult curls or waves.
