A Guide To Managing Your Dog's Shedding And Reducing Dog Hair!

Having a dog as part of the family is a wonderful experience that can be life changing. Unfortunately, many people never take advantage of this experience for reasons that can be managed. Hygiene and shedding seem to top the list for many folks. We have put together some simple tips for reducing your dog's shedding and controlling dog hair.

Why Is My Dog Shedding?

•  Although dogs will lose their winter coats in the spring and fall, keep in mind that most indoor dogs often shed all year due to the climate changes of living indoors and going outside to do their business. Depending on the breed, dogs will also shed loose or clumps of hair.

•  Besides genetics, everything else about your dog's health and quality of life start with diet. The quality of your dog's food plays a tremendous role in your dog's shedding and how much he sheds.

•  Sick or unhealthy animals will shed more.

•  Stress and fear can also cause a dog to shed abnormally. Provide comfort and support for your best friend and build his confidence at all times.

•  Female dogs often shed more after a heat cycle.

What You Can Do To Reduce Shedding

•  Over shedding can be a signal of other problems. Role out any serious issues by having your dog's Vet do an annual check up. If you feel your dog oversheds, we highly recommend Comparing Your Dog Food Brand With Others. It cannot be stressed enough that the quality of what you feed your dog tremendously impacts his skin, coat and overall health.

•  Although excessive shedding could indicate that the diet is lacking fatty acids, most superior dog foods will include Omega 3 and Omega 6 Fatty Acids to provide healthy skin and a shiny coat.

•  Most professional groomers recommend brusing your dog daily, unfortunately many of us just don't have the time. Yet, you should find the time to brush your dog atleast 2-3 times a week to remove dead or loose hair and prevent matting from forming. This also provides you the opportunity to check your dog for fleas and ticks.

Dog Hair Removal Made Easy

•  Use a damp cloth for removing pet hair from your clothes, sofa and other furniture. Pull the hair into one area by wiping your furniture in one direction. Clean and dampen your cloth as necessary.

•  Toss your curtains or clothes into the dryer with a fabric softener sheet on "air" only for several minutes.

•  Use your vacuum hose on bare floors, corners and under furniture. This is the quickest and most effective way to pick up all the dog hair.

•  To remove dog hair from clothes quickly, use large pieces of tape such as duct tape or packaging tape.
