Daily care
A personal plan for coat, ears, teeth and paws — adjusted to your dog, not to an imaginary standard cockapoo.
Coat
Brush down to the skin several times a week, more often for curly coats — behind ears, armpits and chest mat first. Professional grooming roughly every 6–8 weeks suits many dogs.
Ears
Drooping, hairy ears trap moisture. Check weekly and dry after swimming or bathing. Redness, smell, head shaking or scratching need a vet visit.
Teeth
Daily brushing with a dog toothpaste is the gold standard; dental chews help but do not replace it.
Paws and nails
Trim hair between pads, trim nails when you hear clicking on the floor, check pads after walks in winter.
