How to Help With Your Pet's Shedding Shedding is a natural, healthy way cats and dogs renew their fur, but loose fur is not always welcome to pet owners – particularly when it seems to get everywhere and into everything. Pets need thick winter coats and need to shed them in spring, but pet owners who need less fur in their lives can help control their pet's shedding in a variety of ways. Good Brushing: The fastest, simplest way to reduce shedding is with good, regular brushing. Use the proper type of brush for your pet's coat texture and length, and brush them at least 3-4 times a week when the shedding is worst. Daily brushing is best and will continually remove loose, broken or damaged hair as well as distribute natural oils to keep your pet's coat in peak condition.Regular Baths: Bathing your pet once a month will help remove dirt and debris that can damage fur and cause extra shedding, and loose hair will easily come out in the bath.
