How to Deal with Dog Shedding
Did you know that shedding is a natural part of a dog’s life? That said, dogs can shed more as the weather gets warmer. The unfortunate part about shedding is that the fur can get on clothing and furniture, which is not ideal. The good news is that you can take steps to minimize dog shedding, which we will explain throughout the article.
The most important thing that you will need to do is establish a grooming routine. It is best to plan out times when you can give your dog your full attention. Choose a spot that is convenient to you, has good lighting, and is free of distraction. Prepare your grooming equipment before starting the session, and ensure all tools are within reach.
Regular brushing is essential as it ensures that your dog’s coat is clean and it works to remove excess hair and dirt. Brushing also prevents matting and helps to spread natural oils throughout the coat. Gently groom your dog’s back and towards the tail with a brush with the correct bristle length. Be careful not to harm your dog’s eyes or ears. Do not forget the underbelly to remove any remaining loose hair.
We recommend that longhaired dogs are groomed daily. Otherwise, knots and tangles can be a serious issue. For stubborn mats, you may need to use a special mat-removing tool. You should be able to deal with your dog’s shedding while keeping it under control if you follow our recommendations above. Establishing a grooming routine will yield a happier dog and a much cleaner home!
