Good natural structure — consistent routine still matters
Medium RiskGolden Retrievers have a tendency toward enthusiastic chewing that regularly causes slab fractures on the large carnassial teeth.
Some Golden Retrievers show slightly elevated gum sensitivity, especially as they age.
While Golden Retrievers have one of the lower disease rates, risk increases after age 5 — preventive care becomes more important.
Goldens generally accept brushing well due to their sociable temperament — an advantage for maintaining a consistent routine.
"Goldens are genuinely easier to care for dentally than most small breeds — but that's not a reason to skip the routine. Ten years of daily brushing makes a measurable difference by the end of a Golden's life."
