Seasonal Bernedoodle Care
Spring Care
Spring brings increased shedding. Increase brushing frequency and consider a professional bath to remove loose undercoat and prevent matting.
Summer Maintenance
Regular baths help remove allergens and prevent skin issues. Use light, quick-drying conditioners to keep your Bernedoodle comfortable in hot weather.
Fall Preparation
Allow the coat to grow slightly longer for winter protection. Use moisturizing products to combat dry air from indoor heating.
Winter Protection
Limit bathing frequency to preserve natural oils. Use intensive moisturizing products and ensure thorough drying to prevent chilling.
