If your dog is beyond playing with his bedding, thick blankets or dog pads are very nice for his outside home. During summer months, remember to prop the removable roof up and lift the dog door for better ventilation. Be sure to put a dog door on the opening to give optimum protection. Give your dog an enclosed, insulated home to use, especially during the cold months. Dalmatian shedding is definitely a problem, but fortunately the hair will vacuum up and wash out easily.
Many dogs live in kitchen and family or living room areas, while bedrooms are off limits.
Help reduce your dog's shedding also by adding a tablespoon of corn oil or flaxseed oil to each meal. A pump bottle for ease and cleanliness is good to administer 3-4 squirts per meal, or give 1 tablespoon. You will never make your dog stop shedding completely, but the corn oil does help. SO, he needs exercise and this means winter, summer, fall and spring. Having a second dog will also provide more exercise in the form of romping and chasing.
