I have a golden retriever and....?

Question

I have a golden reatriver and any time it gets into water the fur sort of turns black. I took her to the vet and they said she was normal. Whats your oppinion.

Answer 1

sounds ok to me, water will make it look darker, as long as things turn back to normal when they dry its ok. many towels even look darker when they are wet.

Answer 2

My dog's coat is about the same color as a yellow lab and when I give her a bath her coat turns darker even when she's dry.. She wasn't that color when we first got her so I'm almost wondering if I have hard water.. It's the worst right down her back.. I have city water so it could also be something in it..

Answer 3

most dog's fur turns darker in the water, kinda like how people's hair are like. Sum ppl's hair gets darker in the water as well. It's normal.

Answer 4

Fur and hair do tend to turn very dark when wet. I wouldn't worry, especially if she seems to be having fun.

Answer 5

it maybe like human hair like whenever my hair gets wet it turns allmost a dark dark brown and my hair is blonde. it might be just the way the water reacts to the dogs hair.

Answer 6

I thought retriviers turn a dark brown when you wash them. It sounds normal to me.

Answer 7

your dog's fine trust me. I have lite brown dog and when it's hair gets wet it turns to a dark color.

Answer 8

maybe your dog has alot of dirt on him, and it comes to the top coat when he's wet, i'll suggest giving him a bath

Answer 9

She will probably be ok!!!
