The list of supplies for a golden retriever isn’t particularly
long; some of these items include regular grooming sheers, thinning sheers, and
blunt tipped scissors. Additionally a brush, comb, dog nail clippers, and a regular
toothbrush are all useful tools for golden retriever grooming. Supplies that you
may need to groom you golden retriever are shampoo, conditioner (is optional),
septic powder, and an ear cleaning solution. All of these items can be found at
pet or feed supply stores or all over the internet.
Sheers
Quality
sheers can easily cost 45 dollars or more, and as infrequently as you’ll use them,
you may find it worth the cost to get a fine quality the first time you buy them.
The basic grooming sheers also range in prices from 10 to 50 dollars a pair and
sometimes even more, how much you spend on these is again to your preference as
these are probably the ones you will use the most for grooming your golden retriever.
The thinning sheers are mostly for aesthetic purposes, and additional comfort
in the summer months, the price range is about the same. Blunt tipped sheers are
especially for working around the face, if you aren’t showing your dog you may
choose to not bother with these at all.
Brushes, Combs, And Nail Clippers
The
best brush for grooming your golden retriever is a natural bristle brush; it can
reach through a golden retriever’s dense coat to the undercoat and help to remove
dead hair. A grooming rake is the best tool for heavy shedding; you may need to
use this everyday if your golden is shedding heavily. Combs are really only necessary
if fleas are an issue, or there are any mats in their coat. Nail clippers are
essential for living with a golden retriever, these must be kept sharp however
as otherwise they can pinch the nail and hurt your dog.
Supplies
Shampoo
needs to be used sparingly and the best ones will help to replace the natural
oils in your golden retriever’s coat; this is an essential part of golden retriever
care as it is how they remain water repellant. If your golden retrievers fur got
matted some how, a conditioner will help comb them out. Septic powder will stop
the bleeding if your golden retriever’s nails get cut to close to the quick; and
ear cleaning solution should be used anytime you notice a build up of any kind
in your golden retriever’s ears. Keeping up a steady routine is the best thing
you can do to care for your golden retriever.
Giving Your Golden A Fur
Cut
Your golden retriever’s grooming requirements don’t require any special
fur cuts, but some trimming can neaten up their appearance or make them a little
cooler in the summer time, but you should never shave your golden retriever, as
their coat is specially designed to protect them from all elements. Keep reading
