Removes loose, shedding hairPerfect for bath timeRubber brush; easy to cleanIdeal for short hair breeds
Pin brush
for regular everyday grooming, slicker brush for shedding, comb for removing little tangles in the tail, ears, legs/feathers, etc.
Avoid a rubber curry, those are good for short-haired dogs like Boxers, pugs, etc but don't usually help much with a golden. They're not harmful though so you can use it if you want (some dogs enjoy the rubber bristle).
You can use the furminator if you're careful with it. If you overdo it, the furminator can irritate the skin and break the hair... You need to use it sparingly, only when the dog is heavily shedding, and keep a close eye on the skin when using it. You can also get the same results with the brushes I advised, it just takes more work, so it's up to you if you use a furminator or not.
Also remember to clean the ears (Goldens can get ear infections pretty easily because they have floppy hairy ears), brush the teeth, and keep the nails trimmed as close to the quick as you can comfortably get them.
Edit - doesn't have to be the exact brush I linked to btw, some of those are kinda expensive, I just wanted to show you what I mean because not everyone knows what a "slicker brush" is haha.
Get a brush like this. Give him a bath and brush him with the soap on, after you rinse, and after you dry. Works wonders with my pup. Also, try supplementing with fish oil.
I use something like this brush and I have a lion lop going through malt at the moment. This gets loads of hair out (can make a life sized bun with all the hair). And you can brush them backwards and forwards to loosen some of the hair without hurting. You will find that it comes in patches, mainly on the back first then it gradually spreads out from there. But as hair grows at different rates all over the new coat might not come in everywhere first.
