Labrador Retriever Dog Clippers and Grooming Kits
How to Groom a Labrador Retriever at Home
Grooming your Labrador Retriever at home is straightforward once you know what their coat needs. Labs have a dense double coat that sheds heavily throughout the year, especially during spring and autumn. Regular grooming helps reduce loose hair, keeps the coat healthy, and supports good skin condition.
Even though Labs are short haired, proper grooming still requires the right tools. Using quality dog clippers and brushes helps you keep the coat tidy, especially around the neck and chest where hair can become thick. Masterclip clippers are designed to be quiet and easy to control, which makes grooming more comfortable for both you and your dog.
How Often Should You Groom a Labrador Retriever?
We recommend
• Brushing several times per week
• Light trimming or tidying every 6 to 10 weeks
Routine grooming helps manage shedding, reduces hair around the home, and keeps the coat in its best condition.
Basic Grooming Steps for Labrador Retrievers
• Brush thoroughly to remove loose undercoat
• Use quiet dog clippers to tidy thick areas such as the neck, chest, thighs and tail
• Trim long feathering around the legs and tail with grooming scissors for a neat finish
• Wipe the coat and check for dry skin or debris after outdoor activity
Best Dog Clippers for Labrador Retrievers
Labradors have a short but dense double coat that can become surprisingly thick. Not all clippers handle this type of coat equally well. Using the right clipper helps you achieve an even finish and prevents tugging when working through heavier areas.

FAQ: Labrador Retriever Grooming
How often should I bathe my Labrador
Most Labs only need a bath every 6 to 8 weeks unless they get muddy or swim frequently.
Do Labradors need clipping
Labradors do not require full body clipping like longer coated breeds, but light trimming around the neck, chest and tail can help keep them tidy.
How do I reduce shedding
Regular brushing is the best way. Using a de shedding tool a few times a week helps remove loose undercoat before it falls out around the home.
Can I use human clippers on my Labrador
Human clippers are not designed for dog coats. Using dog specific clippers ensures a smoother cut and prevents pulling on the fur.
