How can you slow down the shedding of your dog?

Some breeds of dogs are heavier shedders than others. If you have cold winters and your dog is inside most of the time then they will shed more and their skin can become dryer (use an Oatmeal Shampoo when you bath them.) Going into spring months your dog is losing it's winter coat. Put out the money and buy some good dog grooming tools (it pays for itself in the end.) It is also OK to have your dog groomed by a professional with shorter hair that is more manageable for you, but not too short. I brush my dogs every single day, but they are non shedders (Bishon Frese X and Cockapoo X) and of course the poodle in them in non-shedding. However, my brother has a German Shepherd X and a Newfoundland X and they are very hairy. They get the groomer to cut down a lot of the fur and some water dog breeds have a 'down' (soft fluffy fur) close to the skin and it can be difficult to keep that thinned out, but there is a grooming tool you can buy for this. Every day grooming (you can do it and watch TV too so it's not too much of a chore) will eventually stop your dog from shedding a great deal, but won't stop shedding completely. Just like humans, dogs can lose their hair too.

How do you reduce your boxer from shedding so much?

The problem is no matter what you do, your dog is going to end up shedding the same amount of hair. The only thing you can change is where the shed fur will end up; all over your house or in a brush. When your dog is shedding a lot it is important to brush him everyday (preferably outside), or as much as you can when shedding- this will greatly reduce the amount of fur hanging out around your home.
