Expert Double-Coat Care, Deshedding & Bath Services for Your Golden
📍 3454 Tampa Rd, Palm Harbor, FL 34684
Golden Retrievers have a beautiful double coat designed to protect them from water and weather. The outer coat is water-resistant and wavy, while the dense undercoat provides insulation. This gorgeous coat requires regular maintenance to keep your Golden healthy, comfortable, and looking their best.
At Pupperazi Pet Spa, we specialize in Golden Retriever grooming with techniques specifically designed for double-coated breeds. Our experienced groomers understand how to properly care for your Golden's coat without damaging it.
Unlike single-coated breeds, shaving a Golden Retriever damages their coat permanently and removes their natural temperature regulation. Their double coat actually keeps them cool in summer and warm in winter. We use proper deshedding techniques instead.
Goldens love water! If your Golden swims frequently, regular grooming is essential to prevent matting, hot spots, and skin issues. We thoroughly dry and brush after every bath.
Golden Retrievers shed year-round but "blow" their undercoat twice yearly (spring and fall). Professional deshedding during these times removes loose fur and keeps your home cleaner.
Golden Retrievers are prone to ear infections due to their floppy ears that trap moisture. Every grooming includes thorough ear cleaning and inspection.
The beautiful feathering on legs, chest, and tail needs regular trimming to stay neat and prevent matting. We shape feathers while maintaining the natural Golden look.

Extra deshedding with specialized tools and treatments to remove maximum loose undercoat. Recommended during seasonal coat changes (spring & fall) or for Goldens that shed heavily. Significantly reduces shedding at home for 4-6 weeks!
Keep your Golden's coat well-brushed to allow air circulation. A clean, mat-free coat actually helps regulate temperature better than a shaved one. Schedule outdoor time for early morning or evening.
Rinse your Golden with fresh water after swimming in salt water or chlorine. Sand and salt can irritate skin if left in the coat. Schedule grooming more frequently during swimming season.
Florida's warm climate means fleas are year-round. Keep your Golden on flea prevention and watch for signs of skin irritation. Regular grooming helps us spot any issues early.
Florida's humidity can cause hot spots, especially under that dense undercoat. Regular deshedding and keeping the coat dry prevents moisture from getting trapped against skin.
We recommend professional grooming every 8-10 weeks for Golden Retrievers. During shedding season (spring and fall), you may want to come in more frequently for deshedding treatments. At home, brush your Golden 2-3 times per week to prevent matting and manage shedding.
Absolutely! Our deshedding treatment removes a significant amount of loose undercoat, reducing shedding at home for 4-6 weeks. We use high-velocity dryers and specialized deshedding tools to remove loose fur that regular brushing misses. Many Golden owners schedule deshedding appointments monthly during peak shedding season.
Golden Retrievers have a double coat that provides natural insulation—keeping them cool in summer AND warm in winter. Shaving removes this natural temperature regulation and exposes skin to sunburn. The coat may also grow back differently (patchy, different texture). Instead, we use proper deshedding techniques to thin the undercoat while keeping the protective outer coat intact.
A full Golden Retriever groom typically takes 2-3 hours. Goldens have thick coats that require thorough drying and brushing. We never rush—proper grooming takes time, and your Golden will be relaxed and comfortable throughout the process.
Water-loving Goldens need more frequent grooming! Swimming (especially in salt water or chlorinated pools) can dry out the coat and skin. We recommend rinsing with fresh water after every swim and scheduling grooming appointments every 6-8 weeks during swimming season. We'll use conditioning treatments to keep the coat healthy and water-resistant.
