Golden Paws Pet Grooming in Lexington, MA provides professional grooming for Labs and serves clients from Lexington and more than 20 surrounding communities. The Labrador Retriever has a short, dense double coat that sheds heavily year-round — particularly during the spring and fall coat blows. Unlike Golden Retrievers, Labs have a shorter body coat that requires less scissor work, but their undercoat is exceptionally dense and produces significant shedding. The primary grooming needs for a Labrador are thorough de-shedding, bath and blow-dry, nail trim, and ear cleaning. Professional grooming every 6 to 8 weeks with a de-shedding treatment manages the undercoat buildup and keeps shedding in the home at a manageable level. Our groomers understand the specific care this coat requires and approach every Labrador Retriever appointment with the technique, patience, and attention to detail the breed demands. Call 781-274-9144 to book your Labrador Retriever's appointment.

Professional grooming every 6 to 8 weeks with a de-shedding treatment manages the undercoat buildup and keeps shedding in the home at a manageable level. Understanding this coat structure is essential to grooming the breed correctly — and it is why breed-specific experience matters when choosing a groomer for your Labrador Retriever.
A Labrador Retriever groom at Golden Paws includes de-shedding treatment, bath and blow-dry, nail trim, and ear cleaning. The de-shedding component — high-velocity blow-out combined with de-shedding shampoo and a thorough post-dry brush-out — is the most impactful step for Labrador owners. We also trim the nails, clean the ears, express the anal glands, and check the coat and skin condition at every visit. Every appointment is tailored to your individual dog's coat condition, skin health, and grooming history.
Labradors benefit from professional grooming every 6 to 8 weeks. Labs who are brushed consistently at home 2 to 3 times per week can stretch to 8 weeks. During spring and fall coat blows, many Lab owners prefer to come in every 4 to 6 weeks to manage the heavier undercoat release. Our groomers assess the coat at every visit and will recommend any adjustments to the schedule based on your dog's individual coat condition and the time of year.
Labs that regularly swim or spend time outdoors often develop a heavier undercoat and bring more debris into the home. Regular grooming is especially important for active Labs — the blow-out and de-shedding treatment removes the outdoor debris and undercoat buildup that accumulates quickly in an active dog. Our groomers are experienced with these breed-specific considerations and address them as a standard part of every Labrador Retriever appointment.
