Is my dog's neuter incision healing normally? When can he be groomed?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Goldendoodle | Male | neutered | 3 years old | 16.8 lbs

My dog was neutered 10 days ago and this is what it looks like does everything look normal? He’s behaving normally nothings changed just not sure if it looks like it’s healing right, and am I ok to take him to the groomers once it’s been 14 days?

Yes, at 10 days I'd be quite happy that healing is making appropriate progress with no discharge or redness around the wound which would delay grooming. As long as Teddy is back to his normal self I would not be overly concerned.
