Shedding is a natural process for dogs. Some dogs shed more than others if they have an under coat. The under coat sheds in spring. However, dogs who do not have an under coat need trimmed on a regular basis. Their hair continually grows as human hair grows.
The only sure way to reduce shedding is to brush your dogs hair daily. By removing the excess hair by brushing, the less amount of hair you will find around your home. However, it’s important to notice if your dog is losing excessive hair. This could be caused from a skin condition or ringworm. If you feel your dog is losing hair more than what is normal for its breed, a check-up at your veterinarian is encouraged.
There are several products at your local pet supply store that promise to reduce shedding. However, I have found the best method is brush my dog’s coat daily. It works great if you can keep it up daily and your dog will love getting the one-on-one attention.
