Breed Guide

Labrador Grooming in Grantham

Labradors are loveable, exuberant dogs and brilliant family pets. Despite their short coat, they shed considerably - particularly during seasonal moults - and benefit greatly from regular professional grooming and de-shedding treatments.

About the Breed

Labrador Coat & Grooming Overview

The Labrador's double coat is designed for the outdoors: a dense, water-resistant outer coat and a soft, insulating undercoat. This combination means they shed abundantly, especially in spring and autumn. Many Lab owners are astonished at quite how much fur a single dog can produce.

Regular professional grooming with a proper de-shed treatment makes an enormous difference to shedding in the home. By thoroughly removing loose undercoat, we reduce the amount of fur that ends up on your floors and furniture, while keeping your Lab's coat healthy and their skin properly ventilated.

Labradors are generally easygoing in the grooming salon - their cheerful, social nature usually means they think having a bath is just another adventure. We enjoy their enthusiasm and always give them a thoroughly good groom.
