Golden Retrievers are a double-coated breed, with a thick undercoat that supports a water-repellent outer coat. Their coat is designed to protect them from water, dirt, and extreme temperatures, and requires frequent brushing to manage their shedding, including “blowing coat” seasons. For Golden Retrievers and other double-coated dogs, we provide a de-shedding dog shampoo to help maintain their coats and remove trapped hair.
