My dog is a golden retriever named Aster. She loves water, but i can't bathe her everyday. T_T
How can i make my dog's fluffy hair get more shiny?
NO but you can brush her. Brushing will bring out her natural shine and Keep her coat in tip top shape. Also look at the shampoo your using. Is it a good quality shampoo? When bathing a Golden the first mistake some make is not to get all the soap out of the fur. When I bathe my Goldens I spend more time rincing them than I do actually soaping them up. Shampoo residue will leave their coats dull.

Brush your Golden every day or every other day and when you do give her a bath then make sure you rince her off extreamly well then go over her again with your brush.
Reply:To keep her hair shiny give her a tablespoon of grease every morning. This helps there coat be healthy and shiny. But if you don't want to do that when you bath her put baby oil on her hair and rinse it off a little and comb her hair.
Reply:You can also give your dog a raw egg every day. This works great! When I was a child my parents got me a dog. She was a 6 month old golden lab mix. She had been abused and starved and her hair was so dry it felt like straw. When my Mom took her to the vet for her shots the vet suggested the raw egg and in just a couple of weeks the dog's hair was soft, smooth and shiny.

Also, not washing your dog everyday or every week! For a golden once every couple months unless she rolls around in something gross. Washing too much strips the dog of natural oils.



I am trying mink oil, and it is not working well, so I do not suggest it at this time.
Reply:Add fish oil capsules to her food daily. And brush her frequently- she will have a glossy, shiny coat in no time. I agree with the poster who said to be sure you rinse ALL shampoo from the coat when bathing her- just do not bathe her too often, as that has a drying effect on the skin and hair and removes the coat's natural oils required for healthy hair and skin.
