How to Help Your Pet (and Yourself) During Shedding Season: 3 Tips to Reduce Your Four-Legged Friend's Fluffiness
08.01.2025 19:25
Shedding of pets is a natural process that occurs twice a year, usually in spring and fall.
During this period, your furry friend's fur begins to actively fall out, and your home can turn into a real "carpet" of hairs.
Why it is important to help your pets
By helping your animals during shedding periods, you reduce their stress levels and make their lives more comfortable.
Regular grooming will help to avoid the formation of tangles and the problems associated with them, and will also make cleaning easier, since the amount of hair loss will be reduced several times.
Regular brushing
To reduce the fluffiness of your cat or dog, brush them regularly.
Special tools will help you with this: brushes, gloves or furminators. The choice of suitable tools is based on the type of fur of your four-legged friend, and the frequency of combing depends on its breed. Thus, dogs and cats with long hair will have to endure this procedure every day, and short-haired ones - several times a week.
Bathing
Bathing during the shedding period will be beneficial for your pet. The optimal interval between baths is 21-28 days.
This procedure will help you remove dead hair and thus reduce the amount of hair loss.
Nutrition
During the shedding period, special attention should be paid to the animal's diet, since a lack of nutrients can lead to more intense hair loss and related problems.
Provide your pet with vitamins and minerals: Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, biotin, zinc and B vitamins.
