Questions & Answers
Golden Retrievers are one of the most popular breeds of dogs in America and for many good reasons! These highly intelligent, loyal, and affectionate animals make ideal family companions. In addition to being great family pets, Golden Retrievers are often used as service dogs for medical, mental health, and disability assistance. They require daily exercise and need to be groomed regularly. Socializing Golden Retrievers is important, as it will help them to be well behaved and trainable.
Golden Retrievers are classified as having a moderate shedding coat, meaning they will shed some coat year-round, but also in larger amounts during seasonal shedding periods. Depending on the rough household environment and amount of grooming done, the amount of shedding can vary from almost zero to quite significant. Allergic owners, however, still tend to prefer other low shedding breeds such as Maltese, Poodle, or Shih Tzu in order to reduce the amount of time spent brushing and/or grooming.
When determining what not to feed your Golden Retriever, it is essential to consult a professional for specific advice about the dietary needs of your individual pet. Generally speaking, all processed human foods should be avoided as they are usually too high in fat, sodium, and other unhealthy ingredients. Similarly, unhealthy snacks like candy, chips, and cookies are also not ideal. It is also important to ensure that your pet has access to clean, fresh water throughout the day. Consuming raw foods may also put your pet at risk for developing illnesses and even parasites.
Preparing to adopt a Golden Retriever is an exciting process. First, you'll need to make sure your home's environment is safe and comfortable for your new pet. Make sure any breakable objects are out of reach, as well as anything hazardous or toxic. Purchase puppy-sized adjustable bowls and a comfortable, roomy bed for your pup. You'll also need to stock up on food, treats, and other pet supplies before your new arrival. Additionally, consider enrolling in puppy training and socialization classes, to help your pup learn good behaviors and establish a loving bond with you.
It's impossible to accurately predict the exact size of your Golden Retriever puppy as they can vary significantly when it comes to their full-grown size. However, typically, adult Golden Retrievers range between 21.5 to 24 inches at the shoulder and they can weigh anywhere from 55-75 pounds. Of course, though, there are exceptions to this. Some Golden Retriever puppies will grow to be larger or smaller than this. The best way to know for sure is to monitor your pup's growth and contact your veterinarian with any concerns.
It depends on a few factors: your Golden Retriever's age, health, and activity level. Generally speaking, 30-60 minutes of walking per day is recommended for Golden Retrievers. Young, healthy Goldens may need more than that -up to several hours -depending on their energy and enthusiasm. How much time to spend walking your Golden Retriever also depends on how much exercise they're getting in other ways.
