Golden Retriever Grooming

Managing the Golden Double Coat

We never shave double-coated breeds like goldens — shaving does not keep them cooler and can permanently damage the coat. Instead we bathe, blow out the loose undercoat, and trim the feathering, feet, and sanitary area for a neat, healthy look. This is the right way to groom a retriever.

De-Shedding That Actually Helps

Twice a year, goldens blow their coat and the shedding is relentless. A de-shedding bath and blow-out at those times removes a remarkable amount of loose fur and keeps your home cleaner for weeks. Many of our golden clients come in monthly during the heavy seasons.
