Dogs have been a reliable household buddy for ages and almost every family in town has one. Perhaps one of the reasons why the few others who resist in keeping dogs as pets is hair shedding that has been a common concern among pet owners. Though common, this does not really impose any threat to the family, unless they are very particular about tidiness around the home or members of the pack with allergies.
Setting aside these concerns and focusing on how to treat hair shedding among dogs, it can all be taken care of. By simply using proper tools to brush your dog�s hair makes it all better. It is advised that you really shouldn�t start to this healthy grooming habit as soon as you see some pile of shedding hair on the carpet, sofa, or rug� you can start early. Preventing shedding is a much better practice that keeping it off your dog�s hair. The mars rake is one particular dog brush that can help you up with the task.
When taking your dog for a bath, it is always best to apply shampoo but not just any type of shampoo. The shampoo manufactured in markets for human use has a different PH balance which can be harmful for your K9 buddy thus allowing moderate to excessive shedding. Buy the ones that are really meant for dogs. Talking about the bathing water, hot and cold does no good so use tepid temperature water.
After giving your pet some pet bath, don�t just let �em run around wet. Dry your dog at air temperature. There are blowers for dog parlors but these gadgets do not use any heat. Let the hair dry and the air flow at the direction opposite the growth flow of your pet�s hair to get rid of some of the loose ones.
If excessive shedding still occurs, check on your dog�s diet and food intake as these can also contribute to your dog�s hair condition.
