In the spring and first month of summer, most dogs will shed their winter coats, which translates into a whole lot of hair around the home. In order to keep tufts of hair off furniture, carpet, and clothing, it’s important to take a few steps to protect the home. First, make sure to brush the dog at least once a week during the prime shedding months. This will cut down the hair that appears in the home, and also cause them to shed their winter coat at a faster rate. It’s also a good idea to put down a dog blanket at the location where the dog sleeps at night, as this will catch all the hair, and then can be put in the washer or shaken out to remove it. It’s a good idea to keep a fabric roller in the car, and at the door of the home just in case hair or fur gets on clothing… it might also be wise to avoid black clothes!
Once the dog has shed their winter coat, their summer coat will start to fill out and the dog will look much more presentable for the coming months. Brushing often can also ensure that the dog’s hair doesn’t mat and that the dog’s summer coat of fur looks much nicer.
