  1. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    Hi, Does anyone know of a good groomer experienced with goldens in the greater Vancouver area? I’m having a hard time finding one that knows how to groom goldens… was about to book with a couple until I saw review pictures of shaved goldens 😨 Just looking to get my girl trimmed around her...
  2. Golden Retriever Grooming
    Hi! I was wondering if anyone knew if a good groomer they would recommend in King of Prussia or West Chester, PA or surrounding areas. I have a 3yr old retired show girl and would like to keep her cut but I’m finding it hard to find a groomer around here who knows how to do a show trim. I just...

    Hey guys. What’s everyone’s favourite tool to groom there golden?! I use a slicker brush and then a comb for behind the ears/bum, but today for the first time I just used these dog grooming gloves and they are amazing. Think I found my new favourite grooming tool. I feel like they work so much...
  4. Golden Retriever Grooming
    I have my first show golden and am learning to groom as well. I am trying to choose between three dryers, the k9II variable speed, k9III variable speed and the sullivans air express 3. This will be used both at home and shows as well as on a husky. What would you recommend? TIA

    We have an 8 month old Golden and unfortunately, even after multiple calls and instructions, our new groomer trimmed him VERY short. She definitely used clippers. I think he looks fine, but I am very worried that she causes irreparable harm to his undercoat. Can someone take a look and see if...
  6. Golden Retriever Grooming
    Hey everyone, I have been searching for this answer for a few hours now, and while I think it's OK I would just like to confirm. My golden is just about 9 months now and is shedding like crazy. I think due to losing his puppy coat and also since it is spring time. I am trying to manage the...

  8. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    It’s fall here in Canada and weather is cooling down. I am noticing my 7.5 month old boys cost is starting to shed a ton more. I use a pin brush and slicker brush on him now. I picked up this undercoat rake to brush him with as well. Can I use the undercoat rake to brush him daily with it or...

    Hi guys, I am doing a school engineering project about dog hair and shedding. I would really appreciate it if you guys could take this short survey to help us collect data. This would allow us to create a product that caters to dog owners like you! Thank you! Dog Hair Everywhere!
  10. Golden Retriever Grooming
    Hi, this is probably a silly question but figured I’d ask anyways! We’ve been looking for a breeder and almost all the dogs have nice straight coats. We’ve been offered a puppy but the parents have much thicker coats than everyone else I've seen. Dad has a very thick, long coat. Mom’s coat is...
  11. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    Hi, I have a 11 week old male and I am curious if I should be grooming him with tools such as a slicker brush, or undercoat rake? Is it to early to use those on him? How often should his coat be brushed with specific tools? I had read mixed things online about not using the undercoat rake daily...
  12. Golden Retriever Grooming
    I groom my golden at home and was interested in carding her coat as well. Can anyone make some recommendations on which carding/stripping knives to use and maybe some direction on technique?
  13. Golden Retriever Grooming
    Hi! I’ve been looking all over google and I couldn’t find a straight answer and I’m really worried. So we recently moved from CO to FL and we needed to start giving our golden haircuts because of how hot it was. The groomer we normally go to is great and we never had any issues. However, I made...
  14. Golden Retriever Grooming
    Let me start this post by saying I did not electively shave my golden retriever. I am aware that it is not goof for them and it should not be done. However, my 2 year old English cream golden had to have his stomach, part of two paws, and his butt shaved while during his stay at an animal...
  15. Golden Retriever Grooming
    I'll admit: I'm a bit neurotic about my clothes (ok, let's just call it what it is; I'm vain), so I was wondering if anyone here had any tips for how to handle shedding and odors in both the home and on clothes? And how accurate is this shedding video? I'm guessing that's about 1 week of...
  16. Golden Retriever Grooming
    My boy just turned 1 at the end of May. I took him to the groomers to get his nails trimmed and grinch feet trimmed when he was a puppy to get him used to it, that’s it. Once he hit around 5-6 months, he was somewhat used to it and I am able to do it at home now. I also bathe him at home (every...
  17. Golden Retriever Grooming
    I haven't posted here in a while, but have been struggling to find a quality groomer for my heavily coated conformation style Golden, Ripley. We live in South Surrey, but I am willing to travel for the right groomer! She has gotten some hack jobs from local groomers lately, and is feeling a...
  18. Golden Retriever Health, Anatomy & Breed Standard
    Hey everyone! I'm hoping someone can help! While checking Leo for ticks found a hot spot behind his ear :( His hair had matted a little so I cut the matted part out and cleaned it as much as I could. I took him to the vet about a month ago for an ear infection that turned out to be food...
  19. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    Hi everyone, our golden, Gus, is just about 9 months old, and we've very recently noticed that about halfway down his back his coat becomes dull and much lighter than the top half. From his head down to midway down his back, his fur is beautiful - thick and lustrous. Then midway down his back it...
  20. Golden Retriever Grooming
    Hello all, My golden, Piper was given a hack job at the groomers about a month ago. They cut her hindquarters unevenly, thinned out her coat, hacked up her chest, and cut two of her nipples to the point of bleeding. The fur still doesn't seem to have grown out at all. I am very upset as her fur...
