How to Groom a Golden Retriever at Home

“Ah, the Golden Retriever—nature’s sunshine wrapped in fur. With a coat that flows like honeyed silk and a heart twice as golden, this loyal companion is as splendid as they come. But beware! That glorious mane can tangle and shed without proper care. Tend to it, dear human, and your Golden shall dazzle on.” Lola

At Lola’s, we are on a mission to bring joy to pups and their humans.

For the love of gleam, here are some tips from Lola herself to keep your Golden Retriever looking radiant between grooms.

At-Home Grooming Routine

Brushing: 3–4 times/week with a slicker brush and an undercoat rake to remove tangles and reduce shedding. Focus on behind the ears, belly, and tail.
Bathing: Every 6–8 weeks or after muddy adventures. Use a dog-safe shampoo suited for thick coats.
Ear and Eye Care: Check for build-up and clean weekly.
Feather Trim: Use thinning shears to tidy up feathering on legs, tail, and chest.
Paw & Nail Care: Trim nails every 2–3 times/weeks and check paw pads for overgrowth or debris.
Teeth: Brush with dog-safe toothpaste 3 times/week minimum.
