Care Tips: Food, Exercise, Grooming Etc.

Golden retriever requires a lot of attention and since they are enthusiastic and ever ready to play or exercise, taking care of them becomes moderately difficult. Due to their habit of exploring and learning everything at an early age, they tend to put themselves into trouble therefore it’s advised to fence off swimming pools or ponds in your yard, high electric cables, etc, or simply dog-proof your homes.

Lean meats and fish, such as beef, chicken, turkey, or salmon can be given to Golden Retrievers

As for food, giving proper nutrition to your doggies is crucial. Retrievers will drink between 1/2 and 1 ounce of water per pound depending on the weather and their activity levels. Even though human food is not as good, Golden Retrievers can be fed a range of human foods as long as they’re given in moderation. Proteins, for example, lean meats and fish, such as beef, chicken, turkey, or salmon can be given. Don’t make your retriever reach a level of obesity, as it’s a common health issue in this breed.

Golden retrievers will make sure their owners get plenty of exercise, as this hyperactive breed have no problem when it comes to exercising and health. But we recommend owners to make sure they have a structured exercise routine, so take them out for a minimum of 45 minutes of exercise per day apart from their normal walks, and preferably with a good 2-hour bout of longer exercise at least once per week.
