Golden Retrievers are generally considered to be a breed that's relatively hypoallergenic, so many people who suffer from pet allergies can own one without experiencing issues. However, proper management of allergies to Golden Retrievers is essential if you wish to avoid any problems. Firstly, ensure that you groom your dog regularly and thoroughly, as this removes any excess pet dander. Vacuum your floors at least twice a week, and wash any linens, bedding, or other items that your pet has come into contact with.
Yes, Golden Retrievers do have special dietary needs due to their active lifestyle and size. They need a high-quality diet that focuses on their individual needs. A balanced diet should include all food groups, including lean proteins, healthy fats, complex carbohydrates, and vitamins and minerals to keep them healthy and full of energy. It's important to feed them a diet tailored for their breed, especially as they age, as some of their nutritional needs change. Additionally, all Golden Retrievers should stay hydrated with clean, fresh water to help maintain their energy levels.
Before getting a Golden Retriever it is important that you have certain essential items. A doggy bed for them to sleep in, food and water bowls, food, treats, toys, a collar, leash, and a comfortable means of transportation such as a car crate or seat belt harness for when you need to take them on trips. Grooming supplies, such as shampoo, toothbrush, brush, comb, and nail clippers are also recommended. You may also want to consider puppy training classes to help your new pup get settled in quickly and easily.

The American Kennel Club notes they may even need two to four hours of exercise daily. Golden Retrievers thrive when given the opportunity for long walks, outdoor play, and various other activities.

Give your Golden Retriever plenty of exercise, positive reinforcement, and the appropriate tools to help with the training.
