Care Tips for Flatcoated retrievers

1

Exercise Regularly: Flatcoated Retrievers are energetic dogs that require plenty of physical activity. Ensure they receive at least 1-2 hours of exercise daily through walks, playtime, or activities like swimming and fetch to keep them healthy and happy.

2

Grooming Routine: Regular grooming is essential to manage their thick, wavy coat. Brush them at least once a week to prevent matting and reduce shedding. Additionally, check and clean their ears regularly to avoid infections.

3

Mental Stimulation: Keep your Flatcoated Retriever mentally stimulated with interactive toys, puzzles, and training sessions. These intelligent dogs thrive on learning new commands and tricks, which also helps prevent boredom-related behaviors.
