Common health concerns for Doodles
Doodles inherit from both parent breeds. The retriever side brings hip dysplasia, cruciate risk, and the broad joint vulnerability of any large dog. The Poodle side adds elevated rates of allergies, sensitive skin, and ear infections. Most Doodles end up with at least one issue from each column over the course of their lives.
Their wavy or curly coat traps moisture and debris, which contributes to skin and ear issues. Coat care is meaningful for skin health in this breed group, and so is gut and immune support from a daily probiotic.
