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.

Using deshedding combs to remove our pet’s loose hair before it becomes a part of our furniture or apparel can save clean up time later. A handy grooming tool that removes loose hair from our pet’s top coat as well as reaching the loose hair in the undercoat, a deshedding comb can help reduce the amount of hair our pets shed.
At www.luvurdog.com, you can find a wide variety of brushes and combs to keep your pets looking and feeling great. In addition to combs and brushes, an awesome tool called the Furminator makes grooming your pets a breeze. We all know how wonderful we feel when we are freshly showered and how good it feels to have our hair brushed. Our pets also like to be fresh and clean as shedding hair can make them feel itchy all over. What happens to loose hair when our dogs scratch and shake themselves? All that pet hair ends up on our clothing and floating across our floors like fluffy little butterflies.
With the many different types of combs and brushes available for our pets, as well as the terrific shampoos and conditioners, we really have no excuse to not have a perfectly groomed dog. So take the time to brush your dog; it is time well spent with your canine buddies and they will love you for it. Whether you use a deshedding comb, a brush or the Furminator, unwanted pet hair in your home and on your clothing will be a thing of the past.

To help keep your home and clothing free of dog hair, groom your dog with a deshedding comb
Grooming your dog is essential if you want her to have a healthy hair coat and eliminate that unsightly hair on your floors and furniture. There are many tools available to you to make grooming your dog easier.
A deshedding comb has rounded teeth so it will be gentle on your more sensitive pets as you aid them in removing loose hairs. These combs aid in the removal of unwanted hair, so there will less on your clothing and furniture. Although, it is called ‘fur’niture, most of us do not care to see fur or hair on our sofas and chairs!
With many products available to help us groom our pets, it is easier than ever to keep our dogs looking great. Shampoos and conditioners, deshedding combs, brushes, as well as dog foods and dog food supplements all keep our dog’s hair coat looking nice.
Grooming your pet is something both you and your dog can enjoy. My own dogs love it when I bring out the grooming tools. I think they are glad to have some help ridding themselves of that heavy winter hair coat, and it must feel good to them as well. A deshedding comb pulls easily through your dog’s coat, removing loose hair and stimulating circulation. So go ahead, groom your dog, both your dog and your home can soon be looking good again.

Zoom Groom removes loose dog hair other brushes can?t reach. Actually works like a magnet for hair stimulates capillaries and natural oil production for healthy skin and coats. Zoom Groom?s tapered 3/4″ bristles massage the skin and stimulate natural oil production for a healthy coat. Firm and flexible bristles are soft enough to use even for an occasional belly rub, a true gift for any dog. Cleans with a snap of the wrist. Zoom Groom is manufactured by Kong Company.
Works on all coats, short and long. It works equally well on short coats when they are wet or dry, but works best on long coats when the hair is wet. Work brush in circular motion for best results.

It’s easier when your dog brushes his or her own teeth!The Chew-It-Yourself Toothbrush for Dogs!On one end of the Easy Brushsqueeze a dab of dog toothpaste (not included) onto the bristles on both sides and press the paste deep down and clean to the gum line. Give to your dog with the toothpaste treated end first and let them chew away plaque and tarter. The real bristles clean down to the gums and the paste freshens the breath. Take away after 2 minutes, rinse and dry or place in dishwasher to clean after every use. Use every other day for best results.Removes plaque and debrisFights tartar build-upFreshens breathDishwasher safe
