Regular brushing and bathing every four to six weeks keep your Lab's coat in top shape. Use a quality canine shampoo and rinse with clean, warm water.
Trimming your Lab's nails every three to four weeks helps maintain healthy, well-arched toes. Use a grinder for a smooth finish and trim hair between the toes.
Brush your Lab's teeth daily with a canine toothbrush and paste. Canine dental wipes can also be used. Regular professional cleanings are recommended.
Check and clean your Lab's ears regularly to prevent infections. Your breeder or vet can show you how to safely clean the ears and keep them debris-free.
Wipe your Lab's eyes with a clean cloth after outdoor activities. If you notice any unusual discharge, notify your vet immediately.
Keep your Lab tick and flea-free. Regular combing and bathing can help you spot these pests before they cause problems. Use flea and tick medication as needed.
Regular grooming helps you spot any medical problems early. Plus, Labs are a wash-and-wear breed, so a little regular care goes a long way.
