How to Groom Goldendoodle Eyes
Playful and intelligent dogs, goldendoodles are a hybrid breed. Created by cross-breeding a golden retriever with a standard poodle, goldendoodles are low-shedding animals with a long, curly coat that can grow wild if not properly cared for. You must keep long hair away from your goldendoodle’s eyes to prevent it from entering them and causing bacterial infection. Regular eye care should be part of your goldendoodle’s grooming schedule to keep its eyes healthy.

Carefully trim excess hair from around your goldendoodle’s eyes with blunt-edged scissors. Position the blade end of the scissors away from the dog’s eyes to prevent it from accidentally hurting your dog. Trim the hair parallel to the edge of your dog’s eyelid. Ensure that you trim only as much hair as is required to enable your dog to have clear vision.

Apply a tear stain remover to remove unsightly stains around your goldendoodle’s eyes. Tear stains mar the appearance of the coat and encourage bacterial proliferation. Pour a few drops of the tear stain remover on a small piece of cotton wool. Gently rub the cotton wool around the area below the lower eyelids of your dog’s eyes.

Examine your dog’s eyes daily for mucus discharge. Use a damp cloth to wipe the mucus away. You can also clean your dog’s eyes with a little sterile veterinary eyewash. Clean the mucus immediately to prevent eye infection.
