Pet parents whose dogs are moderate or heavy shedders will certainly have their hands full not only during shedding season but all throughout the year. Here are some tips to help deal with your pets’ shedding:

• Use the right grooming tools and know how to use them properly; it can help make the task easier and quicker. Your dog’s hair coat will help you choose which grooming tools to buy.
• Fatty acid supplements, especially omega-3 and omega-6, have been known to promote excellent skin and hair coat health. Ask your veterinarian for a high-quality fish oil supplement that is specially made for dogs. You can see results of supplementation within 4-6 weeks. Some pet food and treats claim to have omega fatty acids in their ingredients but the amounts are usually very small to have an effect.
