[Pet Tips] 6 Tips for Caring for Your Dog During Shedding Season
🐶6 Top Dog Care Tips for Shedding Season: A Local Guide from Our Editor!
🌟 Essential knowledge for shedding season: The changing seasons can be incredibly hairy! You're constantly seeing hair flying around your home, and you don't know how to deal with it. As both an editor and a dog owner, I'm here to share with you how to keep your dog clean, healthy, and comfortable during shedding season! 👩💻
1. 🌬️ Comb your hair daily for a smooth and comfortable look

Brushing your dog's coat daily promotes blood circulation, quickly removes dead hair, and promotes healthy new coat growth. Using a pin or flat comb of the right size and bristle texture not only helps maintain healthy skin but also prevents tangles, reduces flyaway hair, and makes cleaning easier at home. We recommend combing your dog's coat once a day, morning and night. 🪮 This will help the hair fall off more quickly, shortening the shedding period.
2. 🧼 Mild shower gel and regular bathing

Remember not to bathe too frequently. Short- to medium-haired dogs can bathe every 3-4 weeks, while long-haired dogs can bathe every 2-3 weeks. Choose a gentle, natural shampoo and massage into the paws, underarms, and abdomen, then rinse thoroughly. Immediately dry with a towel and blow dry on low heat to prevent moisture buildup and skin irritation. The shampoo I've selected is herbal, hypoallergenic, and refreshing. 👍
3. 🦐 Balanced diet + nutritional supplements

High-quality protein and healthy fats (such as salmon, chicken, flaxseed oil, or fish oil) all contribute to lustrous hair growth. In spring, eating more green vegetables (broccoli, peas, etc.) helps detoxify. Probiotics nourish the stomach, and dietary fiber aids bowel movements, reducing skin conditions related to intestinal problems. I always pack healthy snacks for my pets to nourish them.
4. 🦠 Anti-allergy and anti-insect essential
Main title: Pollen sensitivity, fleas and ticks, get out!
Subtitle: "When you're home from outdoors, wipe it with a wet wipe"
Spring pollen is high, and dogs are prone to allergic symptoms—red eyes and itchy scratching. Remember to wipe their paws and bodies with a wet wipe after going out. As for fleas and ticks, use flea drops or a flea collar early. Check underarms and behind ears for bugs when you get home! If you have a severe allergy or inflammation, see a veterinarian. My personal experience has shown that outdoor bugs can be a nuisance, but with proper prevention, you don't have to worry.
5. 🏡 Keep your room clean and breathe more comfortably
Main title: Don’t be lazy when cleaning your home, sweep away all the hair <br>Subtitle: “A hair vacuum is a great helper”
During the changing seasons, your house is covered in fur. Remember to use a de-shedding device or vacuum cleaner to clean your dog diligently. This way, your dog won't lick up old fur and reduce their allergies. I highly recommend a power vacuum cleaner combined with a lint roller to keep your home mess-free during shedding season.
6. ✂️ Regular beauty and physical examinations to manage your health
Main title: Beautician's help, timely detection of health problems <br>Subtitle: "Pet grooming is not only beautiful, but also a gatekeeper of health"
Regular grooming visits or simple trimming yourself (especially for long-haired/double-coated dogs) can thoroughly remove old fur and accelerate new growth. Between grooming sessions, check for any skin issues, such as scabs, itching, or redness or swelling that won't heal. Consult a veterinarian. I always book grooming appointments for peace of mind.
