How to reduce dog shedding in house?

When you walk into the house, you feel like you are in a "sea of ​​dog hair". The sofa, floor, and clothes are all covered with dog hair, which makes many dog ​​owners feel troubled. The cute appearance and warm company of dogs make us love them, but the constant shedding of hair really adds a lot of trouble to life. However, don't be discouraged. Through some scientific and effective methods, we can significantly reduce the shedding of dogs at home, make the home environment tidy again, and make dogs healthier and more comfortable. ​

Diet plays a vital role in the health of dog hair. A high-quality and balanced diet is like injecting a strong nutritional power into the dog's hair. Choose dog food rich in high-quality protein. Protein is the basic substance that makes up hair. Adequate protein intake helps the growth and repair of dog hair, making it tougher and stronger, and reducing breakage and shedding. For example, dog food with chicken and fish as the main ingredients is not only rich in protein, but also easy for dogs to digest and absorb. At the same time, foods rich in Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, such as deep-sea fish oil, can effectively improve the health of dog's skin, enhance the barrier function of the skin, reduce the occurrence of skin inflammation, and alleviate the problem of hair loss from the root. These fatty acids are like a protective film on the dog's skin and hair, making it more moisturized and less likely to fall.

Daily care is the key to reducing dog hair loss. Regularly combing the dog's hair, this seemingly simple action, contains great energy. A suitable comb is like a "guardian" of the dog's hair. Choose a pin comb or a row comb, and select it according to the length and texture of the dog's hair. During the combing process, gently comb along the growth direction of the hair, which can not only remove the loose hair on the dog's body and prevent them from falling in the room, but also promote blood circulation in the skin, making the hair healthier and more energetic.

Every combing is a moment of close interaction with the dog. The dog enjoys your touch, and you can also feel its trust and dependence on you. In addition to combing, regular bathing of the dog should not be ignored. But pay attention to the frequency of bathing and the bath products used. Bathing too frequently will disrupt the oil balance of the dog's skin, causing dry skin and further aggravating hair loss. Generally speaking, you can bathe your dog every 1-2 weeks in summer and every 3-4 weeks in winter. Choose a mild pet shower gel that is suitable for the dog's skin, and avoid using human bath products to avoid irritating the dog's skin. When bathing, gently rinse the dog's body with warm water and rub its hair gently, just like giving it a comfortable SPA, so that the dog can keep its skin and hair healthy while cleaning. ​

The health of the dog is also closely related to hair loss. Make sure that the dog's internal and external deworming work is carried out on time. Parasites will damage the dog's skin health and cause itching. Frequent scratching by the dog will cause hair loss. Internal deworming drugs can effectively remove parasites in the intestines, while external deworming drugs can prevent the infestation of parasites such as fleas and mites. Take your dog to the veterinarian regularly for a comprehensive physical examination to promptly detect and treat potential diseases, such as thyroid disease, skin disease, etc. These diseases may affect the health of your dog's hair and cause hair loss. When a dog is sick, it not only has to endure physical pain, but hair loss will also make it look a little "embarrassed". At this time, we must give it meticulous care, accompany it to overcome the disease, and restore its former vitality and beauty. ​

The living environment also has a certain impact on the dog's hair loss. Keep the indoor air humidity appropriate. Too dry air will cause the dog's skin and hair to lose moisture, become dry and easy to fall off. You can use a humidifier to maintain the indoor humidity between 40%-60% to create a comfortable living environment for the dog. At the same time, clean the room regularly and use a vacuum cleaner to clean the dog hair in every corner of the floor, sofa, bed, etc. to prevent hair accumulation. Change the dog's sleeping mat and toys frequently to keep them clean and hygienic, and reduce the impact of bacteria and dust on the dog's hair.

To reduce the hair loss of dogs at home, we need to start from multiple aspects such as diet, care, health management and living environment. Every action we take for dogs is a reflection of our deep love for them. When we see that the house is no longer occupied by dog ​​hair, the dog's hair becomes smooth and shiny, and they can play happily in a tidy home, the sense of satisfaction and happiness arises spontaneously. Because dogs give us endless loyalty and companionship, we also hope to use these caring care to make their lives better and accompany us to spend more warm and happy time.
