Unwanted Pet Hair – How To Cut Down On Shedding In Dogs

September 12, 2009 By heather Leave a Comment

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.

Shedding – A New Way To Decorate Your Home?

September 1, 2009 By heather Leave a Comment

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.

Shedding in Dogs – The Furminator

May 27, 2009 By admin 2 Comments

Shedding is a natural process for dogs and is normally linked to the amount of sun the dog is exposed to during the day. Outside dogs shed their coats in the fall and then in the spring. Shepherds, Huskies and other long haired dogs can shed their undercoats all at once, commonly called “blowing their coats”. Inside only dogs will shed on a daily basis because the lights are on in the house from early in the morning till late at night and this has “tricked” the dog’s natural biology to think it is summer every day.

Your pet’s lustrous coat is an indication of the superb care you provide for him. By reducing shedding by up to 90%, the FURminator deShedding Tool enables you to share your home with your beloved pet, without surrendering it to his pet hair.

Excessive shedding can be caused by parasites, (fleas, mites, lice and ticks), poor nutrition, allergies, hormonal imbalances and some genetic conditions. If your dog is scratching incessantly, or if the skin is red, crusty or has sores on it, then the hair loss is more than just simple shedding and warrants a visit to your veterinarian.

As far as controlling the normal shedding on the dog, frequent brushing and combing is necessary. Brushing your dog on a daily basis will at least control where the hair lands and also allows you to check for matts, parasites,lumps and sores on your dog.

The furminator has also been a great tool to get the loose hair off the dog easier. The furminator uses a clipper blade that can cut the hair. You must go in the direction of hair growth and only stroke one area one or two times. Excessive use or going against the grain may leave your dog bald.

Regular grooming of your pet will reduce the shedding of hair throughout your house.

Springtime Is Shedding Time – Deshedding Tools For Your Dog

May 5, 2009 By heather Leave a Comment

Springtime is the time for rain showers, fresh flowers and… shedding! While the showers and the flowers are nice, shedding is not. Deshedding tools to keep your dog’s hair coat healthy are easily available anywhere pet supplies are sold.

Dog or pet hair floating across your beautiful floors and settling on your clothes and furniture is easily preventable. There are many deshedding tools available for the at home groomer.

Dogs with long hair coats and dogs with short hair coats all need to be groomed to remove the loose hair and undercoat. A popular deshedding tool is the Furminator; this handy tool removes up to 90% of the undercoat leaving the top coat looking smooth, silky, and healthy.

You can also find dematting rakes and combs for the under coat of your dog. The dematting rakes are tools for removing hair that has become matted in your dog’s coat. A combination pin/bristle brush works well on my dogs. This brush has a regular brush on one side, and soft coated pins on the other side, and it is gentle on the dog’s skin.

Slicker brushes also work well as a deshedding tool, removing dead hair from underneath the coat. If you want a comb to remove loose hair from the top coat and the under coat, a bamboo dog deshedding comb does the job quickly and easily. Whatever deshedding tools you use, once you have taken care of the unwanted hair, both you and your dog can take time to smell the flowers.
