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.

How often should a Labrador be professionally groomed?

Every 8–12 weeks is a good guideline, with additional de-shed appointments during heavy moulting periods in spring and autumn. Regular home brushing in between makes a significant difference to shedding levels.

Will professional grooming help with my Lab's shedding?

Significantly yes. A thorough de-shed treatment removes enormous amounts of loose undercoat. Many Lab owners are amazed at how effective a professional de-shed is compared to home brushing alone.
