Ear infections can be a problem in Goldendoodles. Be sure to keep the ears dry and clean, especially after the dog has had a bath or gone swimming. Report redness, bad odor, head shaking, or other potential ear issues to your veterinarian.

The rest is basic care. Trim his nails every few weeks, and brush his teeth regularly with a vet-approved pet toothpaste — daily if possible —  especially if he’s on the small side. Small dogs are especially prone to periodontal disease. Brushing the teeth contributes to overall good health and fresh breath.

All dogs, whether purebreds, crossbreeds, or mixes, have the potential to develop genetic health problems, just as all people have the potential to inherit a particular disease. Run, don’t walk, from any breeder who does not offer a health guarantee on puppies, who tells you that the mixed breed is 100 percent healthy and has no known problems, or who tells you that her puppies are isolated from the main part of the household for health reasons. A reputable breeder will be honest and open about health problems in the mixed breed and the incidence with which they occur in her lines.

Goldendoodles may be susceptible to the health problems of Golden Retrievers, Standard Poodles, or Miniature Poodles, but there’s also a chance that the genetic diversity introduced by mixing breeds may lower the chances of developing certain inherited diseases. The very nature of genetic variation makes this difficult to predict for a mixed breed dog.  Please refer to the breed guides on Golden Retrievers, Standard Poodles, and Miniature Poodles for an overview of some of the inherited diseases reported in these breeds.
