Labrador Retriever Puppy Grooming

Groom your new Labrador retriever puppy regularly and start early. Early grooming not only keeps your puppy clean and looking it’s best but also gets it used to being bathed, toenails being trimmed and his coat brushed. All of our puppies are bathed in the kitchen sink, we use baby shampoo, dry them off with a towel and place them back under the heat lamps again. Labs love water. Make this experience a pleasant one. Try not to splash water in their face. I don’t wet their heads too much. Just a quick going over. Before that, we used baby wipes to keep them smelling clean and fresh.  Labs also need to be brushed. They do shed. Get them use to all of this early and you’ll never have a problem.

Labrador retrievers do not require a lot of grooming and by getting them use to it early makes it all that much easier for you and enjoyable for them. Toenail clipping is not hard and does not need to be done to often. Your veterinary can show how it is done.
