Spring is here, and it’s the annual molting season for dogs. Faced with the overwhelming amount of dog hair, are poop pickers ready to fight against dog hair?

Have you ever breathed every day recently and your nose is full of dog hair? I touched the dog casually, and my hands were covered with fallen hair, and its head was enlarged.

In fact, these hairs were used by furry children to survive the cold winter, and evolved seasonal transformations. They will grow fur in autumn to survive the winter. In order to survive the hot summer, hair removal is also performed in the spring.

Faced with the scattered dog hair that can never be cleaned up, how should parents reduce their shedding? Let’s take some measures together to reduce the phenomenon of dog hair loss~

01. Choosing the right tool is very important

Needless to say, everyone knows how important a comb is, although Some brushes are suitable for all hair types. But short-haired dogs have their own combs, and the same goes for long-haired dogs. Choosing the right comb is the most important thing.

Suitable for all hair types, this is an all-purpose brush that can be used every day and works on all hair types. It should be noted that when selecting, long-haired dogs are more suitable for long-bristle models, short-haired dogs are more suitable for short-bristle models, and dogs with hard hair are more suitable for hard-bristle models.

This kind of brush has wire bristles, which can effectively remove the hair that has fallen off the dog's body. It is a very commonly used comb. Straight-haired dogs can be combed smoothly, while curly-haired dogs can pull the hair, but it is not easy to untangle larger knots.

The main function of combing is to remove floating hair and untie knots. It is very suitable for large dogs that are prone to shedding. Combing their hair once a day can effectively reduce the shedding of hair everywhere. Usually used on dogs with longer hair.

Tools used to remove tangled hair with minimal damage. Suitable for curly-haired dogs that love to tangle.

It is actually a brush designed in the form of a glove that can be slipped into the hand and used to brush dogs with short or medium-length coats.

02. Establish a regular daily grooming schedule

Try to groom your dog every day to minimize shedding. Choose a time when your dog will be calm and cooperative (such as after an evening walk) and do your best to maintain and help your pet develop this habit.

Choose a grooming spot that is comfortable for you and your pet, and spread a sheet or blanket over the area to catch stray hairs.

Grooming is the best way to reduce shedding. Rather than letting hair scatter around the house, capture it in a comb and dispose of it properly.

03. Bathe your dog regularly

If you take a bath with the correct steps, it can actually effectively reduce hair loss. It should be noted that the frequency should not be too high. It is recommended to do it once a week in summer and 1-2 times a month in winter.

Step 1: Comb your hair before taking a bath. Generally speaking, it's best to brush your dog's coat before bathing it to remove any clumps of hair that can make applying shampoo difficult. Start grooming your pet from its hind legs and work your way up. Brush against the direction of its hair growth to ensure water can more easily penetrate its coat. Pre-bath grooming can also remove dead or fallen hair that can cause trouble in the bath.

Step 2: Choose the right shampoo. When bathing your pet, choose a shampoo specifically designed for dogs. Regular shampoo is more harsh than dog shampoo because dog shampoo is designed for a dog's specific pH. Human shampoo strips the protective, essential oils from your dog's coat, exposing it to bacteria and parasites. To further protect your dog's sensitive skin, choose a dog shampoo with no added artificial fragrances or colors.

Step 3: Start taking a bath. Lead your dog into the shower and have him stand on a towel or non-slip mat on the shower floor. Wet and wash your dog's coat from back to chest, gently lathering. If your dog has thick hair, try using a brush rather than your fingers to work the shampoo evenly through his coat.

Step 4: Rinse the hair. Use a removable shower head or bowl to rinse the shampoo out of your dog's hair. Make sure to wash away all residue thoroughly, as residue may cause skin irritation if left on the skin's surface. Be careful to avoid getting water into your dog's eyes when flushing.

Step 5: Blow-dry the dog. Gently squeeze the excess water out of your dog's coat, allow your dog to shake off the excess water, and then pat dry with a large towel. Set your hair dryer to a low setting and gently dry your dog to remove excess moisture. Keep the hair dryer at a distance from your dog to prevent overheating or ruffling his coat.
