Is Your Dog's Shedding Driving You Crazy?

Although it is very cool to have an inside dog,
one of the worst things about this however is
the problem of shedding hair. When you bring a
new puppy home, your first and most important
thoughts are of course to potty train the dog so
it will use the bathroom outside and not in the
house. This only takes a few weeks and that
problem is fixed. But the issue of hair all over
the house is another matter.

First of all, us talk about why dog shed.
Canines lose their hair throughout the year but
it is always worse in certain months. They go
through a natural cycle that coincides with the
seasons. As warmer weather is approaching, you
will notice more shedding hair from your pet.
This is extremely common and is especially
evident in certain breeds more so than others.
There isn't anything to do about this natural
seasonal occurrence.

Another thing to consider, and this might be
something you think about before selecting your
puppy in the first place, is that shorthaired
dogs shed worse the longer dogs. This is pretty
much true across all the breeds. The longer
haired dogs have less of a problem of losing
their hair than those with very short hair. The
reason for this is that the longer hair stays on
the canine longer before it naturally falls out.
The shorter the hair strands are sickly means
that they fall out quicker than the longer
versions. Therefore, the shorter hair dogs have
a cycle that is much quicker and thus there is
always more hair falling out at any given time.

Another trick that pet owners can use to
eliminate some of the issue of having hair all
over the floor, furniture, the bed, and all of
your clothing, is to regularly brush your pet
outside. It is best to buy one of the short
steel bristled brushes available in many large
pet stores for this purpose. You will be amazed
at how much hair can be removed from your animal
with one of these brushes. Again, you always want
to do this outside because there can be an
enormous pile of hair resulting from this
brushing. But what this means is that all the
hair that is loose and about the fallout will
quickly be removed by the brushing and thus
eliminate it falling out in the house.

If you get in the habit of brushing your animal
several times a week outside you will notice a
greatly decreased amount of falling hair in your
house. Again, different breed shed in different
amounts in it may mean that your particular dog
only needs brush once a week or it could mean
that it's best to brush him or her for five
times a week outside. We found that this simple
trick for removing the air outside is much as
possible eliminates the problem in the house
greatly.
