Should I shave my Golden Retriever?
No — shaving a Golden Retriever damages the double coat and removes natural temperature regulation. Professional groomers can thin the undercoat and neaten the feathering without shaving.
How often should a Golden Retriever be groomed?
Professional grooming every 6-8 weeks is recommended, with regular brushing at home between visits. De-shedding treatments during spring and autumn help manage heavy shedding.
What does a Golden Retriever groom include?
A typical groom includes a bath with de-shedding treatment, blow-dry, undercoat removal, trimming of feet, ears, and feathering, nail trim, and ear cleaning.
How much does Golden Retriever grooming cost?
Expect to pay $70-$120 for a full Golden Retriever groom in Australia, depending on coat condition and the salon.
