When you’re a pet parent, the first signs of spring are hundreds of strands of fur clinging to your clothes and fuzzy tumbleweeds drifting across the floor. You may have already started to dread dog shedding season, which means endless vacuuming, sweeping and lint brushing. It can seem like your pets are shedding faster than you can possibly clean. Try these tips from Dara Forleo, owner of Dara’s Paw Spaw in Peterborough, NH, to get ahead of springtime dog shedding and break that cycle of constantly cleaning up loose fur.
If you adopted a shorthaired pet in hopes that he was one of the non-shedding dogs, you may have been surprised to find that they actually shed more than animals with long fur, and that they, too, need regular grooming. Excessive shedding in dogs is commonly seen in Labs, Pugs, Beagles, German Shepherds and Boston Terriers, says Forleo. “The only true non-shedding breeds are Maltese, Shih-Tzu, Poodles, Bichon Frises, the ‘hair type breeds’ usually in the Toy group of AKC breeds.”
