An Easy Way To Deal With Shedding Fur While Grooming Your Dog or Cat

Dual Action Grooming Mitt

Looking for an easy way to deal with shedding fur?

Want to help your pet look better than ever?

Grooming dogs and cats can be pretty annoying, especially if you’re using a tool that irritates, or one that doesn’t work very well. Some brushes and mitts are rough and uncomfortable, and others just don’t pull out enough loose hair without extensive work. The ideal grooming tool is one that works quickly and efficiently, but also one that doesn’t cause your dog or cat to run away before you finish.

Why Animals Shed

Animals shed fur as part of their natural growth and replacement cycle. It’s a normal and essential process for many mammals that have a coat of fur or hair. Every pet owner will have to deal with loose fur from time to time, and when you handle it properly, it won’t be such a problem. There’s no way to prevent your dog or cat from shedding, so you’ll need tools and techniques to deal with it while grooming, or when it falls to the floor. There are several reasons why animals shed fur:

1. As a Seasonal Adaptation

Many animals shed their fur to adapt to changing seasons. During colder months, they may grow a thicker coat to provide insulation and retain body heat. As the weather becomes warmer, shedding helps them get rid of the thick fur, allowing their bodies to cool down.

2. To Regulate Body Temperature

Fur acts as an insulating layer, trapping air close to the skin to keep the animal warm. Shedding helps animals adjust their fur density, allowing them to maintain a comfortable body temperature in different environmental conditions.

3. Due To New Fur Growth

As old fur becomes worn, damaged, or less effective, animals shed it to make way for new fur growth. This process ensures that their fur remains healthy, clean, and functional.

4. To Remove Parasites and Dirt

Shedding can help animals get rid of parasites, such as fleas and ticks, and also remove dirt and debris that may accumulate in their fur. This helps to maintain good hygiene and reduces the risk of skin infections.

5. For Behavioral Signaling

In some species, shedding may also serve as a form of visual communication. Changes in fur color or patterns during shedding can indicate physiological states, social status, or readiness for mating.

5. Due To Genetic and Hormonal Factors

Shedding patterns are influenced by genetic factors and hormonal changes in animals. Different species may have specific shedding cycles or responses to environmental cues.

It’s important to note that not all animals shed fur in the same way. For example, some animals, like humans, shed hair continuously throughout the year, while others, like certain dog breeds, have distinct seasonal shedding periods. Additionally, some animals may undergo complete fur changes, such as the molting process in birds.

Overall, shedding fur is a natural and necessary process for animals that helps them maintain their health, adapt to the environment, and stay comfortable.

The Best Ways To Deal With Shedding Fur

Dealing with shedding fur can be a challenge, especially for pet owners. Here are some effective ways to manage and reduce shedding:

1. Regular Grooming

Regular grooming is essential to remove loose fur from your pet’s coat before it ends up all over your home. Brush your pet’s fur at least a few times a week, and for breeds with heavy shedding, daily grooming may be necessary. If you go too long between sessions, then the job will just be more difficult. Avoid the time it takes to pull loads of loose fur from your pet’s coat by doing the job more often. As a bonus, you’ll end up with less on the floor and on your furniture too.

2. Choose the Right Brush

Different types of brushes are designed for specific coat types. Choose a brush that suits your pet’s fur, whether it’s short, long, curly, or double-coated. Brushes with fine bristles or deshedding tools can be especially useful for removing loose hair. With the right tool, your pet will be happier, and your results will be better. The best tool for the job will vary from pet to pet, and owner to owner. When looking for the best option, you should consider effectiveness, but also how your pet will like it.

3. Regular Bathing and Conditioning

Regular baths with a pet-specific shampoo and conditioner can help to keep your pet’s coat clean and healthy, reducing excessive shedding. This will reduce your work as you groom, and it will also cut down on the frequency.

4. Keep a Balanced Diet

Proper nutrition plays a significant role in maintaining healthy skin and fur. Ensure your pet’s diet is balanced and includes essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals that promote a healthy coat. When your dog or cat is unhealthy, they are far more likely to shed fur. When you feed them good food, you’ll see it in the health of their fur.

5. Consult a Veterinarian

If you notice excessive shedding or changes in your pet’s fur, consult a veterinarian. Sometimes, shedding can be a sign of underlying health issues like allergies or hormonal imbalances. It may be obvious what the problem is, and how to deal with it, but if your pet is shedding more than normal without reason, it may be time to talk to a professional.

6. Manage Their Stress

Stress can contribute to excessive shedding in some animals. Provide a calm and safe environment for your pet to reduce stress levels. This is important at all times, but especially while grooming. If your dog doesn’t like the brush you’re using, then they may get stressed out only to make the job more difficult.

7. Control and Eliminate Parasites

Fleas and ticks can irritate the skin, leading to increased shedding. Regularly use appropriate parasite control methods recommended by your veterinarian.

8. Keep Them Hydrated

Ensure your pet has access to clean, fresh water at all times. Proper hydration helps maintain healthy skin and fur.

9. Vacuum and Clean Frequently

Regularly vacuum and clean your home to remove shed fur from carpets, furniture, and other surfaces. Consider using lint rollers or sticky tape to pick up fur from clothing and upholstery. If you keep your pet healthy and groom them regularly, you’ll have the least amount of fallen fur to deal with, but every pet owner will have to clean up some. When you do it on a regular basis, you’ll prevent the fur from building up, or traveling into hard-to-reach places.

10. Use Protective Covers

Place washable covers on furniture and pet bedding to trap loose fur and make cleaning easier.

11. Use Air Purifiers

Consider using air purifiers with HEPA filters to reduce airborne pet hair and dander.

Remember that shedding is a natural process, and some breeds shed more than others. While these tips can help manage shedding, it’s important to embrace the reality that some fur around the house is inevitable if you have pets.
