How much do Flat-Coated Retrievers shed?

Flat-Coated Retrievers shed a moderate to high amount. They have a dense, medium-length coat. Their coats require regular brushing — ideally a few times a week — to prevent matting and keep their hair shiny and smooth. Pay extra attention to their feathered areas, like the ears, chest, legs, and tail, which can be prone to tangling. Routine brushing helps to reduce loose hair, prevent matting, and keep their coat healthy. 

During seasonal shedding periods, typically in the spring and fall, their shedding often increases, and you may need to brush them more frequently to prevent a build-up of loose hair on the floor and furniture. Using a lint roller or vacuum cleaner designed for pet hair can help keep your home clear of loose hair.
