Seasonal Shedding
Spring is in the Air!
One of the biggest nuisances faced by pet owners is unwanted hair in their homes. We all love our furry friends, but at this time of year the furry part can be a problem. Your pets may have already begun to shed their winter coats and you may be struggling with the avalanche of fur coming off around the house.
Shedding is a natural process by which dogs lose their existing coat to allow a new coat to come in. It’s Nature’s air conditioning!, preparing your dog for the warmer months ahead. Nearly every dog sheds to some extent, regardless of their age or breed. Breeds considered light shedders such as Poodles, Yorkies, Maltese etc. are usually the breeds that need to be clipped, stripped and or scissored, because their hair falls out at a much slower rate and if they are not properly groomed are prone to matting.
Breeds typically known to be shedders include the Akita, Golden Retriever, Labrador etc. There is no magic cure for the dreaded
shed, but to stay comfortable your pet will need your help in getting through this hairy experience. A healthy diet, regular outdoor exercise and routine brushing will help the process pass more quickly and with a lot less mess around the home. Regular brushing will remove the dead and loose coat from your pet and it also stimulates the hair follicles and distributes the skin’s natural oils, providing shine as loose hair and dead skin is removed. Your dog will love you for it and enjoy the added attention they get when they look and feel great!
Or why not give us a call to set up an appointment, even if your dog doesn’t need a haircut. A professional groom is more than just a brush out. Your pet will be thoroughly brushed before being bathed in our Hydrobath with our wonderful shampoos and conditioners designed to aid in the removal of loose coat. This combined with the use of high velocity dryers and correct brushing techniques, will help remove loose hair, which means less to be left on your clothes, furniture and carpets. We’ll make sure his ears are clean, and nails are trimmed before he comes home looking, feeling and smelling grrrr-eat!!!!
