What to do when Dogs sheds too much


Have you ever rubbed your Golden Retrievers Dubai and pulled your hand away only to discover that your hands are covered in dog fur. Eventhough the hot months have come to an end, you may think that the shedding would decrease, but it turns out that dogs can shed just as badly at any given point, even in cold temperatures.

Shedding is a natural part of owning Dogs in Dubai and, with the exception of a selected few, this is a universal problem that many dog owners have to deal with on a daily basis.If you own dogs in black and brown, this means there is nothing in the home that can camouflage the massive amounts of fur that is shed, however, the bright side to shedding woes is that the owner's learn how to reduce the amount of fur while protecting the pet at the same time.

There are owners of Pets in Dubai, who will take their dogs to a professional groomer to be brushed, washed, and groomed regularly. It's best to take your pet to a professional as when shaving and grooming there are certain rules that needs to be followed. For instance, when shaving at least 1inch of fur needs to left and cutting any shorter risks leaving your dog’s sensitive skin exposed to the sun, reduced ability to regulate temperature on cool nights, and the chance of the undercoat being damaged due to exposure.Also, be careful when shaving older dog, as their fur doesn’t grow back as fast or as healthy as younger dogs.

Having the proper tools is important. Your local Pet Store Dubai would have the proper tool, like specialized clippers for thick coats and other accessories. Make sure to purchase the correct equipment as you will be running the risk of causing injury to yourself as well as the dog. Make sure to keep the clippers cool as they have a tendency to get very hot when grooming a dog and it’s important to keep them oiled and cool to avoid burning and pulling your dog’s coat out.

Make sure to consult the veterinarian before shaving a pet and make sure to hire a professional who is able to handle various breeds of dogs and groom them in a safe and effective manner. If shaving is not an option for certain pet dogs, there are other ways to reduce shedding while keeping the dog safe and cool.

Since, dogs don’t regulate their temperature in the same manner as humans, their coat is designed to insulate them both from the cold and also to encourage air movement near the skin to keep cool during the hot months.

Despite shaving, shedding can be controlled well with some of the following methods,

  • Regular bathing

  • Regular brushing with a brush that is appropriate for the dog’s coat length and type. Brushing can be done before and after a bath.

  • Feed them nutritious food. A dog with a healthy diet will have a healthy coat of fur and will have less shedding. Fish oil has been shown to benefit the skin and coat and is safe to use as a supplement to a dog's normal diet.

Finally, if you’re really worried about shedding there are a few dogs that don’t shed at all or shed very minimally. This should be considered before buying a puppy or dog.
