Trimming your dog’s nails is an important part of grooming. Look for clippers made for dogs and be careful not to cut too much at once.
4. Dog shampoo
A good dog shampoo helps keep your Golden Retriever’s coat clean. Make sure it’s gentle and safe for dogs with sensitive skin.
5. grooming scissors
scissors can help keep your dog’s coat neat and tidy, especially around sensitive areas like the ears and paws.
