Shedding in dogs is a common problem for those of us that share our lives with a canine or two. Many allergy sufferers who love dogs cannot own them due to amount of hair and dander that dogs shed. Keeping dogs clean and well groomed can help people with less severe allergies enjoy the company of dogs in their lives. With many products available for dog owners to groom their pets themselves, shedding need not be a problem anymore.
The Furminator, a tool which was developed by a pet groomer, helps immensely in eliminating the unwanted pet hair we may find hovering around our homes and clinging to our clothes. Bathing our dogs and then brushing their coats can help keep our home and environment free of pet hair and dander, thus reducing minor allergies.
If you are the owner of a breed of dog that sheds, you are well aware of the embarrassment of finding pet hair clinging to your clothing or floating in the coffee you are about to serve an unexpected visitor! Spring and fall, and sometimes in between, our dogs shed their coats in preparation for the next season. With all the handy tools available to reduce the shedding in our dogs, finding unwanted pet hair attached to our clothing or drifting behind the furniture can be a thing of the past.

When our pets are shedding their hair all over our homes we sometimes wonder if this could be a new way of decorating. After all, isn’t this why furniture is called furniture? Shedding has always been the nemesis of dog lovers, and it’s what keeps people with allergies from owning a dog. With all the unique tools on the market today to help keep our dogs’ coats healthy, shedding need not be a problem anymore. Dogs usually shed twice a year in the spring and fall. If they shed more than that, you should probably have them checked by your veterinarian.
There are many de-shedding combs and brushes available to help reduce the amount of hair that is drifting around your home and settling on your furniture. The Bamboo Dog Undercoat and Dematting Rake joins two tools together into one. The rake takes away the heavy winter coat while the dematting rake works well to get through those difficult matts that your pet may have acquired over the winter months. The GroomAir Electric Grooming Brush simplifies grooming with firm bristles that collect dirt and dead hair. 
I have found the Furminator or the Furejector work extremely well on my dogs, reducing the amount of hair they shed by up to 90%. There are also many excellent shampoos and conditioners to help with shedding in your dog. Eliminating floating hair and dander due to shedding can relieve the allergy sufferers in your home, and you won’t have to redecorate unless you want to!
Also a great tool is the irobot roomba pet series vacuum. This little floor vacuum automatically vacuums up the pet hair for you. It learns the pattern of your house and picks up all the loose hair your pet sheds.

Adding a pet to the household is an exciting time but one where you need to coast, exploring the pros and cons, rather than zooming full speed ahead. The decisions you make now will affect you for the next decade or longer, cautions Chris Walkowicz, author of Choosing a Dog For Dummies. People put more research into buying a lawn mower than choosing a dog. To be responsible, you need to examine facts, facilities and finances. In Choosing a Dog For Dummies, Chris does much of the necessary homework for you. She presents a wealth of information, including advice from hundreds of long-time owners who care deeply about their dogs. By hearing owners tell all (the good, the bad, and the ugly) about their breeds, says Chris, a prospective buyer knows up front what to expect. Neatniks know which types shed. Allergy sufferers can sort through less sneeze-provoking groups. And couch-potatoes know who will be demanding a walk each evening.
