While some shedding is inevitable, there are ways to limit and manage it. One of the best ways to curtail shedding, especially as the weather changes during the spring and fall, is through frequent brushing. Daily brushing of your pet can remove loose hair while keeping the coat clean and healthy. Quality food and proper hydration are also key to managing your pet’s coat.During the winter, dry air can prompt increased itching and flaking, which can cause hair and other particles to escape into the air and onto surfaces. In this situation, we recommend using a humidifier to keep the air moist.
