Golden Retrievers have longer, flowing coats that require regular grooming— this includes regular brushing, and pet salon visits to prevent shedding. They also tend to shed heavily during seasonal changes. On the other hand, Labradors have a shorter, denser coat, which makes grooming a bit easier for them. These dogs also shed, especially in spring and fall. If you’re looking for lower maintenance pet dog when it comes to grooming, Labradors take the lead. However, if you don’t mind a little extra brushing time in exchange for those beautiful golden locks, then grooming a Golden Retriever can actually be a bonding experience.
