Silver Lab Puppies Coat & Coat Care

The coat should be short and dense, but not wiry. This hunting breed has a water-resistant or water-repellent coat that is slightly dry and oily. Unlike many short-haired breeds, Labs are outdoor dogs. They are usually able to keep warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Silver Labrador Retrievers have short, straight coats that shed seasonally. They have a double coat — with thick, dense hair — which helps keep them warm during winter months. Their heavy coats also offer additional insulation when swimming — a favorite pastime of Labradors, Silver Labs included.

With a low-maintenance coat, the Silver Labrador Retriever only needs brushed once or twice a week. It’s important to bathe your Silver Labrador Retriever every four to six weeks to keep his coat healthy, shiny and prevent skin irritation. While this breed does not require regular appointments at the groomer for trims, it is important to remember Silver Labrador Retrievers are moderate shedders — consider investing in a de-shedding tool for your furry companion, as well as a sticky hair & lint for yourself!
