Spring and fall are heavy shedding seasons for many breeds. Many breeds “blow” their seasonal undercoats two times each year.
Why Dogs Shed
Dogs actually take their shedding cue from the sun. They shed more in these seasons because the changing amount of daylight causes their bodies to prepare for a new season’s coat. This also means dogs that live indoors under artificial light can’t rely on Mother Nature’s clock, so they tend to shed year-round.
How to Reduce Your Dog’s Shedding
While you cannot stop a healthy dog from shedding, you can reduce the amount of hair in your home by brushing your dog regularly. Talk to our groomer. She can recommend a specific type of brush or comb that will work best for your dog’s hair type.
