Labrador Retrievers require regular grooming to maintain their coat and overall health. Their dense, water-resistant double coat sheds seasonally and needs weekly brushing to manage shedding and keep the coat healthy. During peak shedding seasons, more frequent brushing may be necessary. Labs also benefit from regular ear checks and cleaning to prevent infections, especially since they love water. Nails should be trimmed regularly to prevent discomfort and potential issues with walking. Lastly, dental care, including brushing teeth or using dental chews, is important to prevent gum disease and maintain overall health.
