Golden Retrievers have a double coat, which are two different types of fur. The outer coat that we see is long, smooth, and feathery. Under this coat is a fuzzy, dense coat that acts as an insulator. Knowing how to groom and manage both coats on your Golden is important for maintaining their coat and comfort. For anyone interested in grooming a Golden, the “Grooming Your Golden” tutorial by Joanne Lastoka is helpful for how to groom ears, feet, tail and shoulders.
