Golden Retrievers were originally bred in the Scottish Highlands as working dogs. They accompanied hunters on their expeditions and were trained to find and gently carry back shot game like water fowl to their masters. An important part of their job was to bring back fowl without damaging them.

Besides being very intelligent, Retrievers are playful and generally approach life with a happy attitude. This is what makes them very popular as family dogs. Retrievers are also in plenty of demand for several occupations – they are trained as guide dogs, for search-and-rescue operations and emotional support dogs.

FOOD FOR YOUR

GOLDEN RETRIEVER

Giving your pet appropriate nutrition at different stages of their lives is very important to help them grow well and stay healthy. Pups who are younger than three and a half months old can be fed puppy starter food from Royal Canin or Arden Grange. Pups who have crossed this age can be given puppy food from Acana, Taste of the Wild or Farmina. Each of these brands offers food with different protein types. Royal Canin also has some popular options.

As your pet enters the adulthood, his or her nutritional needs will change. Choose dog food depending on your pet’s breed, Acana has high protein food for large breeds. Taste of the Wild and Farmina also have options that you can choose from for your Retriever. The grain-free lamb and blueberry variety is popular. There is also a codfish and orange variant.

PLAY

wITH YOUR Golden Retriever

As a working dog breed, Retrievers need a good amount of both mental and physical stimulation to stay happy. Rope toys and the KONG tug toy are excellent for physical games. If you’ve noticed that your dog likes to chew, do take a look at the Twistee collection.

Dogs who don’t receive enough mental stimulation can get bored and resort to naughty or destructive behaviour. HUFT Snuffle mats, Nina Ottosson doggy puzzles, KONG interactive toys encourage dogs to use their senses and their minds. Mental stimulation doesn’t always need a toy, you can even create your own ‘treasure hunt’ by hiding treats around a room and letting your pet sniff them out.

Teaching your pet a trick also counts as mental stimulation. Watch your dog to see which type of activities your pet enjoys. The best toys for Golden Retrievers include an assortment of different varieties.

GROOM your Golden Retriever

Golden Retrievers have a characteristically beautiful coat in shades of warm gold. Routine grooming ensures that your dog’s coat stays beautiful and healthy through the year. Use a HUFT Self-Cleaning Slicker brush to capture shed fur and the HUFT Double Sided Steel Comb for a basic brushing at home.

A Zoom Groom is a great way to dislodge shed fur during baths or use gentle on a dry coat to massage your pet. Dogs enjoy massages (so you can score major brownie points with your pooch) and it also encourages blood circulation which contributes to the health of the coat. A pet glove can also be used for this.

In terms of dog shampoo for Golden Retrievers, the HUFT Deep Cleansing shampoo and the Isle of Dogs Silky Coating shampoo are excellent for baths, you should also have a couple of good quality microfibre towels to dry the coat well. A damp coat can prompt a host of skin issues. The HUFT French Vanilla Perfume is a lovely way to end the groom.

Your Retriever’s silky coat will do a good job of hiding ticks and fleas so be sure to check for them every day. Before your pet goes out for a walk or to play, we recommend using the HUFT Tick & Flea Repellent to discourage bugs from latching on. Putting in place a year-round holistic & natural tick and flea prevention plan is preferred. Some useful products for this includes Natural Diatomaceous Earth Powder, HUFT Tick & Flea shampoo and the HUFT Paw balm among others. We have a more comprehensive guide as well.
