How to cut a golden retriever’s hair step by step

6 When bathing a golden retriever dog, we must always take into account the use of appropriate cosmetics, since this breed of dog is prone to skin problems, so the choice of shampoo for your bath is vital if we don’t want to damage it.

Whether you want to bathe your golden at home, or if you are a professional dog groomer, you should take into account that many manufacturers of canine cosmetics recommend mixing shampoos with water (consult the manufacturer for the appropriate proportion), in addition to having hand towels, eye cleaner, and ear cleaner.

Once we have the shampoo diluted, the next step is to ensure that the dog is perfectly wet, the water must reach the skin and for this, we must soak it calmly and for a few minutes. When we are sure that the water has reached each pore of your skin, we begin with the application of the shampoo: it must be applied without making circles, always in the same direction as the hairline.

We will let it act between 5 and 10 minutes, after this time, we will clarify completely and repeat this same step again.

è Once the bath is finished, we will begin the last part, drying the dog’s hair. Although by routine or habit most people usually let their dog dry freely, without our intervention, the truth is that it is something harmful to both the hair and the skin of the dog.

So now you know, take towels, a hairdryer, a good card and start drying the hair, so we will avoid any suffering to the hair or skin of the golden retriever.

As a last recommendation: you should never shave a golden’s hair , the use of a machine in a golden’s haircut will only cause his hair to spoil and release much more hair at home. Keep that in mind!
