Is Your Dog Shedding Too Much?
A little shedding is completely normal for dogs — but when your sofa, clothes, and car are covered in fur, it becomes a real problem. The good news? With the right routine and tools, you can dramatically reduce the amount of hair your dog sheds around the house.
5 Proven Tips to Reduce Dog Shedding
1. Brush Your Dog Regularly
Regular brushing is the single most effective way to control shedding. It removes loose fur before it ends up on your furniture. Aim for at least 2–3 sessions per week — daily during heavy shedding seasons like spring and autumn.
The UrbanCoat Professional Deshedding Comb is precision-engineered to reach the undercoat and remove loose fur at the root, reducing shedding by up to 90%.
2. Bathe Your Dog Monthly
A clean coat sheds less. Bathing your dog once a month loosens dead fur and keeps the skin healthy. Follow up with a thorough brush-out after the bath for best results.
3. Feed a High-Quality Diet
Poor nutrition is one of the leading causes of excessive shedding. Look for dog food rich in Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, which promote a healthy, strong coat. Consult your vet if shedding seems abnormal.
4. Keep Your Dog Hydrated
Dehydration leads to dry skin, which causes more shedding. Make sure your dog always has access to fresh, clean water — especially in warmer months.
5. Use the Right Hair Removal Tools at Home
Even with the best grooming routine, some fur will end up on your furniture. That's where the UrbanCoat Reusable Pet Hair Removal Glove and Roller come in — quickly picking up stray hairs from sofas, carpets, and car seats without any disposable refills.
When to See a Vet
If your dog is shedding in patches, scratching excessively, or showing signs of skin irritation, it's worth a vet visit. Excessive shedding can sometimes signal allergies, parasites, or hormonal issues.
