Curly-Coated Retrievers should be fed 2 to 3 cups of high-quality dry food a day, divided into two meals. This may vary based on your dog's requirement, considering their size, weight, age, metabolism, and activity level.

Consult with your veterinary specialist or a dog nutritionist to learn the correct nutritional balance your pet needs throughout its different life stages. Clean, fresh water should always be available.

The Curly-Coated Retriever has a tight and waterproof coat that is relatively easy to take care of. Their curls shed only twice a year, and although the shedding varies, it is important to note that their coat will need a careful maintenance routine.

Brush their coat at least once a year and more frequent during the shedding season picks up.

Curly, like other dog breeds, need basic care and grooming. Brush them weekly with a rubber grooming mitt or a brush with short, natural bristles. A fine-toothed flea comb helps remove loose or dead hair.

Their undercoat may come out in little thuds. Regular brushing will help keep shedding under control. With regular brushing, they shouldn?t need a bath more than every month or two. Trim the nails as needed, usually every few weeks.

Ears are an important area to check when you are grooming them, so if you smell an odour or see wax, clean the inner ear with a cotton ball, using a cleanser recommended by your veterinarian. Your careful weekly assessment will help you recognise potential health problems shortly.

Curly-coated retrievers are energetic and active dogs. They are sporting dogs at heart, so they need lots of exercises. A daily walk for 2 to 3 hours will satisfy them. They enjoy playing in the water and other outdoor physical activity. Curlies will work best in an active family that likes to involve their dog in their activities.

Curly coated retrievers need regular visits to their vet, at least twice a year is recommended. Most of them are susceptible to bacterial and viral infections.

Like any breed, their wellness should be checked to guarantee that your dog is safe and comfortable at all phases of life.

Besides that they have a pleasant personality, they can be a wonderful jogging companion and a playmate to the children. They are up to all outdoor and physical activities! They are an active family pet that loves to goof around you. They also need proper socialization training at an early age.

Considered intelligent and easy to train, Curly-coated retrievers are not a burden when doing training. They are, however, slow to mature, which requires them a little bit of time to train.

Curly-coated retrievers are kind, loving dogs that get along well with other domestic pets, given that they are properly introduced at an early age.
