White and Cream Golden Retrievers – How to Keep Their Coat Clean and Shimmering
By Ewen Vile

White Golden Retrievers or English Cream Golden Retrievers? Whatever they are called, it only means one thing. They have a white, off white or light cream coat that gets more dirty than usual. This also means they need to be cleaned more often.

You probably decided to have a light colored Golden Retriever because of the beautiful and admirable coat. Don’t end your affair because you now hate the same coat you used to love. You can always find a solution to this simple problem.

All you need to do is to give your Golden a good bath, as needed. When you notice that she starts to appear a bit brownish, this is when she needs bathing. Place her in the tub and wet her with lukewarm water. Use a mild and medicated dog shampoo for her sensitive coat and skin. Lather shampoo onto her fur and undercoat and make sure that the bubbles don’t get into her eyes or ears. Rinse her thoroughly and dry her with towels. Blow dry her coat while brushing to make sure that her coat does not get infected.

Do not use human hair shampoo, human bubble baths, kitchen and dishwasher cleaners. They are to harsh for her sensitive skin.

Depending on your dogs’ activity, but twice a week of bathing will be just fine. If she loves to roll over the ground or lurk into dark and dusty spaces, she might need a daily bath. Using dog shampoo is just fine as long as you dilute it with water before applying onto your Goldens’ coat.

You also have to make sure that you brush her often to remove mats and tangles. Five minutes each day is just right. Brushing also massages her muscles and keeps her relaxed. Aside from that, it allows her skin to breathe and prevents hotspots and allergies. Also, frequent brushing releases oils from the sebaceous glands which make her coat appear shiny and glowing.

Most of the dirt adheres on long and ragged fur. To prevent this, trim excess hair on the hocks, throat, legs, ears, chest and tail. Just make sure to make it appear neat and not to cut it too short. Follow the natural fur line and you won’t go wrong.

Grooming your White and Cream Golden not just keeps her neat and smelling clean, it is also a good bonding moment for you both. She feels special and learns to love you more. Also, you won’t have to live each day getting annoyed from her smell and filthy white hair which makes you love her more.
