How do I reduce the amount of hair my dog sheds around the house?

My dog is a Choc. Lab/Mastiff mix with dark brown short fur - I vaccum every afternoon, and clean the crown molding of my floors w/the dust buster. He gets groomed twice a month, but there is still fur on my floors, and pretty much everywhere else constantly. Is there anything I can do to keep my dog from shedding all over? He went to the vet recently so I know he is healthy....Hes a great dog so he stays either way, but I'd love some advice. Thanks!

It's good that he gets regular groomings by a professional, that will help. Cutting his hair will do nothing more than make him shed shorter hairs.



However, do you brush him in between professional groomings? Ask your groomer about an appropriate brush that can be used on him DAILY. Make it a routine, it will likely be one he will enjoy. Getting to go out and spend "quality time with Mommy" is a JOY for my dogs.

If you take 5-10 mins a day to bursh him and get all the loose hair off him this will make a huge difference in the ammount of hiar u see around your house.

Twice a month is definitely not enough.



Brush him yourself a few times a week.

Brush him thoroughly at least twice a week.

brush him outside every day. you could try a food like AvoDerm. Can't hurt, might help. other than that for the next several weeks, just be prepared to brush. there is a little rubbery tool called a ZoomGroom that my Great Dane loves. It is pretty effective, too.

Maybe you could put him outside in the spring and summer and let him stay outside until night time. I live in the country and we believe all animals stay outside no matter what so it won't hurt your dog unless you live in the city where he could get hit by a car or stolen then you could always get a kennel for him.



Give him lots of baths!

I have the same problem, and unfortunetly there is nothing you can do. Just brush him daily!!! I actually vacuum my dog as well LOL and she doens't mind, that gets all the loose hair off, there is also shampoo's you can buy to decrease shedding, but they don't really work,. It is natural fo rthem to shed so they will. But brushing them EVERYDAY will help. I have a shepard, so trust me I know the hair thing.

I think a trim would be good but at the same time i dont think it is actully possible to stop him from shedding. because he is an animal just like we shed hair on our heads. plus dogs shed more during the winter my dog does also

More brushings everyday will help reduce the hair around the house. Good Luck

daily brushing,plenty of exercise and a high quality food



How do I reduce the amount of hair my dog sheds around the house?

Brush him daily to prevent shedding. Also get a furminator to take out the under hair that brushing might leave behind. It's shedding season so you can have more hair than normal. That's all you can do until he'sdone shedding. He got lot of undercoat that needs to be brush out that a groomer doesn't/might not do. Grooming if you mean bathing him..I don't think you can trim a lab... you should ask the groomer to also brush him (I think they charge you extra for brushing a dog..not part of the groom service unless it specify)



the more you brush him, the more it will reduce the shedding. Good luck

Lots of people swear by Furminator Deshedding tools, and I also like Zoom Groom for that type of coat. Brush more often, daily or even twice a day. Easier than vacuuming all the time. %26lt;G%26gt; Better nutrition can help a little, but it is no panacea.

Brush him daily and vacuum him often with a dust-buster.



(really)

Get a "furminator". Look for it on ebay or you'll pay a fortune for it elsewhere. They are wonderful !

It sounds more like a skin problem than a fur problem.



Brush everyday but put some cooking oil in his food. About



a teaspoon everyday.Then you can also wash him with an



oatmeal shampoo and conditioner.It worked for me.I have



a bullmastiff/amstaff.

Here is what I do. First when he does get groomed ask them to use a shedding shampoo. (there are many brands and I think personally it does help). I also brush my dogs every day with a shedding brush to get rid of any loose fur. It's a great way to get some one on one time with your dog. There actual reports that claim petting (or brushing) your dog calm and soothe both you and the dog . Good Luck and I hope this helps as it works for me.

I have the same problem with my rotti and we brush him at least every other day. But recently due to illness we changed his food to science diet and within a couple weeks we noticed a change in his coat shinier and less shedding we still brush him about daily but it helped and he enjoys the quality time during brushing

Consider his diet. Some dogs shed alot when feen cheaper diets. Try changing to a high quality diet. Usually only sold at pet stores not your local grocery store.
