* Individual Variation: Every dog is different. Some Golden Retrievers are heavier shedders than others. Factors like age, health, diet, and even the season can influence how much they shed.
* Shedding Cycles: Golden Retrievers go through periods of heavier shedding, typically in spring and fall, as they change their coats for the warmer or cooler seasons.
General Observations:
* Significant Shedding: Golden Retrievers are known for their thick double coats and are considered heavy shedders. You'll likely notice a lot of hair around your house, especially during shedding season.
* Regular Grooming: To manage shedding, it's important to brush your Golden Retriever regularly, at least once a day. This helps remove loose hairs before they end up on your furniture and clothes.
If you're concerned about excessive shedding, consult with your veterinarian. They can help rule out any underlying health issues contributing to excessive shedding.
