Preventing Dog Shedding

Shedding is a common complaint among pet owners, as it causes an unsightly mess and can contribute to allergies among residents of the home and visitors. Pet owners can reduce or even eliminate dog shedding by taking a proactive approach to the problem.

Consider these tactics for preventing dog shedding:

• Regular brushings – Brushing your dog daily to remove excess hair will improve the health of your dog’s coat and also make the animal less likely to shed hair all over your home.
• Improve food quality – High quality pet food can help reduce incidences of shedding.
• Supplements – Fatty acid supplements can help improve the health of your dog’s coat and also reduce incidences of shedding.
• Control fleas – Scratching by dogs to ease the itch caused by fleas can cause shedding. By regularly treating your dog for fleas, you can help mitigate this problem.
• Frequent vacuuming – Regular vacuuming of your home and furniture will keep hair from accumulating.
• Keep furniture covered – By keeping your furniture covered, you can keep excess pet hair from accumulating, and also make it easier to vacuum up and remove pet hair.
• Visit the vet – Often, excessive shedding is caused by illnesses or medical conditions. Regular visits to the vet can keep your dog healthy and pinpoint possible causes of shedding.
