No you cannot trim your lab’s coat but frequent brushing with a soft tipped bristle (not bare wire)brush will help.
Lots of omega3 oils help coat quality and shine such as salmon sourced foods or fish/salmon oil supplements which should not be expensive.
Swimming in cold water seems to help keep them in coat.
That and a good vacuum cleaner will help you cope.
The yellow hair really stands out on most floors.

My yellow lab, Sunny, is actually a mixed breed with German Shepherd, collie, chow, but he looks like a pure lab according to a vet that has seen him. He sheds horrifically. We have changed him to IAMS food and other more expensive, organic and natural foods but he still sheds terribly. I want to give him a “haircut”. Can you trim or shave a lab’s hair. Thanks, Patty
