🌪️ Managing the Mayhem: Grooming Tools and Supplements to Control Shedding
Share
Hello Shedding Stopper and PetPaws Emporium Customers!
Shedding is a natural process, but when it feels like your home is permanently coated in fur, it's time to intervene with targeted tools and internal support. Managing shedding requires a consistent, two-pronged approach: external removal and internal skin health.
1. External Removal: The De-Shedding Tool
-
The Right Tool: Invest in a specialized de-shedding tool (often a brush with a fine, curved metal blade). These tools are designed to reach past the topcoat and effectively pull out the dense, dead undercoat that causes the most mess.
-
Frequency: Use the de-shedding tool once or twice a week, depending on your dog's coat type and the season.
-
Regular Brush: Use a soft, slicker brush daily for general maintenance, debris removal, and bonding.
2. Internal Support: Skin & Coat Supplements
-
Omega Fatty Acids: Supplements rich in Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids (often fish oil or flaxseed oil) are vital. These healthy fats support the integrity of the skin barrier, leading to a healthier, stronger coat and reducing excessive, unhealthy shedding.
-
Diet Check: Ensure your dog's primary food is high-quality (as discussed in an earlier blog post) and rich in protein and moderate fats. A poor diet often manifests as a dull, brittle coat and excessive shedding.
By tackling the undercoat and supporting the skin from the inside, you can significantly reduce the amount of loose hair in your home.
