Are there any risks in shaving your golden retriever?
I have been a dog groomer for over 20 years and have shaved many golden retrievers. There is a risk though of changing their coat, it could grow back thicker and it might not grow back in at all. It is not possible to determine ahead of time and it seems the shorter you shaved double coated dogs, and the more often you shave them the greater the chance of changing the coat. That being said, if your dog swims all the time and has hot spots and problems from staying wet all the time it may be worth the risk to you. I have many clients who are aware of the risk and chose to shave them anyway.
