Breeders must be sure to educate puppy buyers and help them prepare for the attention needed to care for a Lab's constantly shedding coat. Puppies will start to shed their baby coats at about age 4 to 5 months; within a month or so, their coats will have transformed into the adult version. Most adult Labs shed twice a year, and during this time you will notice lots of hair around the house. Invest in a good vacuum cleaner.
The rest of the year, two or three times a week should be enough grooming for your Lab. The more you brush them, the less fur you will have to pick up from furniture and the more time you have to bond. During brushing, be sure to pay attention to signals they may give you and stop if they become uncomfortable.
