How to stop dog shedding home remedy?

In a warm home, the lively figure of a dog always brings endless joy, but the dog hair that comes with it has become a trouble for many owners. Cleaning in the morning, just after cleaning the floor, the sofa is covered with dog hair again; wearing clean clothes to go out, being intimate with the dog, and instantly covered with hair. Dog hair is everywhere, which not only affects the cleanliness of life, but also may cause trouble to people who are allergic to hair. Don't worry, we can use some home remedies to alleviate the dog's hair loss to a certain extent, so that there will be less "fur fluff" in the home and more refreshing and comfortable. ​

Dog hair loss is a natural physiological process. Just like humans have metabolism, they will regularly replace old hair. However, there are often reasons for excessive hair loss. Seasonal changes are common factors that cause dog hair loss. In spring and autumn, dogs will accelerate their hair loss in order to adapt to temperature changes. In spring, they shed their thick winter hair to prepare for warm weather; in autumn, they grow new thick hair to resist the coming cold winter. This seasonal hair loss is usually more obvious, and the owner will find clumps of dog hair everywhere in the house. ​

Imbalanced nutrition is also an important reason for dog hair loss. The healthy growth of hair is inseparable from various nutrients. Protein is the basic component of hair. If the dog's diet lacks high-quality protein, the hair will become fragile and easy to break, and the hair loss will also increase. Vitamins and minerals are also critical to hair health. For example, vitamin B can promote skin metabolism, and its lack may cause skin inflammation, which in turn causes hair loss; zinc helps maintain the normal structure and function of skin and hair. Zinc deficiency can make the dog's hair rough and easy to fall off. ​

Skin problems directly affect the dog's hair loss. Parasitic infections, such as fleas and mites, will bite and parasitize on the dog's skin, causing itching. The dog can't help scratching, causing hair loss. Fungal skin diseases, such as common ringworm infections, will damage hair follicles and prevent hair from growing normally. Skin allergies are also a tricky problem. Dogs may be allergic to food, pollen, dust, etc. Allergic reactions will cause skin redness, swelling, itching, and a lot of hair loss.​

In the face of dog hair loss, we can start with diet and provide dogs with nutritionally balanced food. Choose high-quality dog ​​food, check the ingredient list, and make sure it contains rich protein, such as chicken, beef, fish, etc. You can also add some foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon and fish oil. Omega-3 fatty acids can nourish the skin, enhance the skin barrier function, reduce inflammation, make the hair healthier and stronger, and reduce hair loss from the root. Feed your dog salmon 1-2 times a week, or drop an appropriate amount of fish oil into the dog food. After a period of time, you will find that the dog's hair loss has improved. ​

Daily care is also crucial to reducing dog hair loss. Combing your dog's hair frequently is like massaging its hair. Choose a suitable comb, use a needle comb for long-haired dogs and a bristle comb for short-haired dogs. Spending 10-15 minutes combing every day can remove the floating hair on the dog's body in time to prevent tangling, and can also promote blood circulation in the skin, which is conducive to healthy hair growth. When combing the dog's hair, comb it gently along the direction of the hair, and be gentle to avoid hurting the dog. You will find that every time you comb the hair, you can collect a lot of loose hair, so there will be less dog hair at home. ​

Keeping the dog's skin clean should not be ignored. Bathe the dog regularly, but not too frequently. Generally, wash it once every 1-2 weeks in summer and once every 3-4 weeks in winter. Excessive bathing will damage the oil layer of the skin, causing dry skin and aggravating hair loss. Choose a mild shower gel suitable for dog's skin, use warm water when bathing, and blow dry the hair thoroughly after washing to prevent moisture from causing skin problems. During the bathing process, gently massage the dog's skin to promote blood circulation and make the hair healthier. ​

Creating a good living environment can also reduce dog hair loss. Keep the room clean and hygienic, clean the room regularly, remove dust and debris, and reduce the chance of the dog's contact with allergens. Prepare a clean and comfortable bed for the dog, change the mat frequently, and let it live in a clean environment. At the same time, pay attention to the indoor humidity and keep it at 40%-60%. The appropriate humidity can keep the dog's skin and hair moisturized and reduce hair loss. ​

Every dog ​​is a precious member of the family. Seeing the dog's hair flying around at home, we can't help but feel a little headache, but we must understand that this is a signal from their body. Through these home remedies, taking good care of the dog in terms of diet, care, environment, etc., can not only reduce hair loss, but also make the dog healthier and happier. When you see the dog's hair is soft and shiny, and playing around lively, the relief and satisfaction are indescribable. Let us use love and patience to create a comfortable living environment for the dog and accompany them through every beautiful day.
