treats for your Golden Retriever

Golden Retrievers are famously the most common choice as house pets! Their super friendly, high-spirited personality and ability to adapt well to home life makes them great pets for families as well.

Golden Retrievers have a double coat, which makes them slightly prone to overheating in Indian climates. So, having an air-conditioned space is preferable for them. Also, make sure they stay well hydrated, and plan outdoor activities in the early morning or late evening when the temperatures are lower.

Golden Retrievers are super smart and intelligent, so they are very easy to train! They pick up on commands and tricks very quickly, and follow instructions to perfection. You can train them with basic commands at home, or contact a professional dog trainer for help.

Use a pet-safe wipe or a damp cloth to gently wipe their eyes, nose and mouth. Regular cleaning like this will help get rid of dirt, mucus and bacteria, and prevent tear stains.

Golden Retrievers are active dog breeds. They love to play and run around, and their double coat leads to them being quite prone to overheating. Having a cool, shaded spot for them to rest and an air-conditioned living space is preferable.

Golden Retrievers are genetically more prone to obesity and hip and joint problems like hip dysplasia or arthritis, especially due to a poor diet or lack of adequate exercise. Be sure to keep them active and stimulated, mentally as well as physically so they live a happier, healthier and longer life!

Golden Retrievers are not known to bark much, but they can be talkative when they are comfortable with you. They can also be easily trained to bark less frequently.

We do not recommend bathing a Golden Retriever every day, as it can strip their skin of essential oils that act as a barrier for infection-causing bacteria. Experts recommend a bath every 1-6 weeks for them, to keep their coats clean and healthy.

Golden Retrievers are very smart and easy to potty train. Be patient with them, it can take a couple of weeks to have a young Golden Retriever get used to the training. Seek help from a professional dog trainer or behaviourist if needed.
