The Golden Retriever’s Grooming Needs

Do you own a Golden Retriever or planning to have one? These beautiful dog do not need as much grooming as you would think. Read this article to find out all about grooming thcoat of your Golden Retriever. Enjoy … and do it!

Despite their beautiful, medium-long coats, Golden Retrievers actually do not require extensive grooming. Their coats do not matt easily and they do not need to be bathed as frequently as other breeds of dog – unless, of course, they roll in the garbage! They are known to be heavy shedders so frequent brushing is a must.

The Golden Retriever’s coat varies from white-blond to reddish-blond and is usually shiny and soft. Regular brushing will help keep the coat’s sheen at its best and will also help stimulate the flow of blood to the skin. Brushing can be done as little as once weekly and as often as daily; your dog will enjoy the experience. If you pay attention to your dog’s coat, you will get a feel for specifically how often he or she needs to be brushed.

Your dog and Christmas

If your dogs are like mine, the annual appearance of the Christmas tree brings a lot of curiosity and exploration.

Aside from the possible reaction of canine kids who think: “Cool! Mom gave us indoor plumbing!” – and the subsequent irritation of human family members when they give it a try – Christmas trees pose a number of hazards for dogs and other pets.

If you have a live tree, be sure to cover or otherwise protect the water in the stand.
