V. Dogs and Cats: Shedding

Prevent Shedding in Cats & Dogs? No Way!

When the weather warms up, your dog may do a little spring cleaning of his own. As he begins to shed his winter coat, you may notice his hair everywhere-especially on your clothing, carpets and furniture. Pets who are kept indoors don't wait for the seasons to change; they shed all year round. It is normal for pets, both those who go outside and those who live indoors, to shed regularly. But this doesn't mean the fur has to fly all over the house.

Control Cat & Dog Shedding

When your pet's shedding increases, so should the time you spend grooming. The FURminator deShedding Tool can reduce shedding up to 90% and help eliminate hairballs, on both long and short haired dogs and cats, if used on a regular basis. The patented deShedding tool gently removes the dead, loose undercoat without cutting or damaging the topcoat. You may want to apply a spray-on conditioner to your cat's coat. These products, available in pet supply stores, will help keep her fur smooth, sleek and easier to groom.

No More Dog & Cat Excessive Shedding

If your cat is not used to regular grooming, you may need to take it slow. It is smart to start with short sessions. If necessary, wear a pair of gloves to protect yourself from scratches.

Canines with short and dense coats, such as a golden retriever, tend to be the heaviest shedders. If you have a dog with a heavy coat, you can help prevent him from overheating in warm weather by cutting his hair to a one-inch length; never to the skin, which can rob your dog of his protection from the sun.

Grooming sessions offer you an excellent opportunity to check for any problems with your pet's skin and coat. Before grooming your pet, do a thorough examination over your pet. Do you notice any hair loss, redness, bumps or cuts? Be on the lookout for parasites, such as fleas and ticks too. If you do find anything unusual, make sure to report it to your veterinarian.
