How can you slow down the shedding of your dog?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

You could use non-shedding shampoo, daily brushing also helps. As long as your dogs coat is healthy shedding may be a normal process for your breed. Many breeds shed or blow their under coat constantly or multiple times a year. There is no way to stop shedding. You can control it's effect on your house by removing the loose hair with brushing but the dog will still shed.

Answer 3

To comb the dog more often. Also, it depends because some of the breeds have a different layer of fur. For example, the poodle doesnt have fur it has hair. So, of course you are going to have to comb their hair more often! Hope this helped : )

Answer 4

Regular grooming, including brushing and bathing, can help reduce shedding by removing loose fur and distributing natural oils. A balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids can also promote healthy skin and coat. Additionally, ensuring your dog stays hydrated and gets regular exercise can help maintain overall skin and coat health, potentially reducing shedding.
