🐾💛 Happy National Golden Retriever Day! 💛🐾

Today we’re celebrating one of the most beloved breeds we see walk through our doors — the Golden Retriever. Friendly, loyal, and endlessly devoted, Goldens truly earn their reputation as incredible family dogs… but like all breeds, they come with their own set of pros and challenges.

✨ The Good Stuff

Exceptionally friendly and people-oriented

Great with kids and other pets

Intelligent and eager to please (often easy to train!)

Loyal companions who just want to be wherever you are

⚠️ The Not-So-Fun (But Important) Stuff
As veterinarians, we also see some common health issues in Golden Retrievers, including:

Cancer (sadly more common in this breed than many others)

Hip and elbow dysplasia

Cruciate ligament tears

Allergies and chronic ear infections

Heart disease (including subaortic stenosis)

Hypothyroidism

Obesity — those sweet faces make it hard to say no!

💡 What This Means
Golden Retrievers thrive with:

Preventive care and routine exams

Weight management and joint support

Early attention to skin, ears, and mobility changes

Open conversations with your vet as they age

Despite the medical challenges we may see, Goldens give back tenfold in love, loyalty, and joy. They are goofy, gentle souls who make every day better — and we’re honored to care for so many of them.

🐶💛 Drop a photo of your Golden in the comments and help us celebrate these golden-hearted dogs today!
