Grooming Tips for Labradors

Brush your Labrador weekly to remove loose undercoat. Use a rubber curry brush or de-shedding tool. Labradors love water but are prone to ear infections — dry ears thoroughly after swimming or bathing.

Labradors Grooming FAQ

Do Labradors need professional grooming?

Yes — while Labradors have short coats, professional grooming with de-shedding treatments significantly reduces shedding and helps maintain healthy skin and coat.

How often should a Labrador be groomed?

Every 6-8 weeks for a professional bath and de-shed. During heavy shedding seasons (spring/autumn), more frequent de-shedding treatments can help.

Should I shave my Labrador in summer?

Never shave a Labrador. Their double coat insulates against both heat and cold, and protects from sunburn. A professional de-shedding treatment is the right approach for summer.

How much does Labrador grooming cost?

A Labrador bath, de-shed, and groom typically costs $60-$100 in Australia. De-shedding add-ons may cost an extra $20-$40.
