A kennel cut for a Labradoodle typically costs $90-$140 in Australia, depending on the salon, location, and coat condition. Matted coats often incur surcharges of $10-$30, so regular grooming keeps costs consistent.
Brush your Labradoodle every 2-3 days with a slicker brush, working through the coat in sections. Check behind ears, under legs, and around the collar for hidden mats. Use a detangling spray for stubborn tangles.
