when will my dogg stop sheding?

Answer 1

is it an indoor or outdoor dog? if it's an outdoor dog, they usually only shed during the spring. Indoor dogs tend to shed all year round. The key to reducing hair around your house is to groom your pup everyday. That way you're less likey to see around your house.

Answer 2

your dog is riding himself of his winter coat. That shedding kept him warm and cozy last winter and now it's time for it to go. Brushing DOES help but your must do it daily! In a few more days or so he should stop shedding so much and will be a happier dog with less coat. Washing him 2 times a week will help to and brush him after drying. lint brushes work well on clothing or furniture that he has brushed up on. This is a cycle in a dogs life and the only way not to have this problem is to have a Poodle. They do NOT shed but must be trimmed every 6 weeks in order to keep their coat neat and matt free

Answer 3

Shedding



Shedding is a natural loss of hair in dogs that allows the new coat to come in. All dogs shed; some more then others. There is no such thing as a non-shedding dog, unless you have a completely hairless dog, such as the American Hairless Terrier, however shedding varies greatly from breed to breed.


The majority of breeds that are considered "very light shedders" are usually the breeds that need to be clipped, stripped and/or scissored. Because their hair falls out at a much slower rate, if they are not properly groomed they are prone to matting.



Some breeds have a seasonal shedding season in the spring, as their winter coats are lost. But if your dog is an indoor dog it may not be outside enough for the dog's body to register the change of season, so he may shed all year round. Today dogs are bred mostly as companions and some breeds are not meant to live outdoors, so do not start leaving your dog outside all day long in hopes to stop the shedding. Longhaired dogs may appear to shed more, but it is really just the length of their hair that gives that illusion.



What can you do to reduce shedding?

Some dogs shed a lot. What can you do to help get the hair loss under control? Grooming is the key. Keeping in mind that the hair is going to fall out either way and it is best to remove it yourself and throw it in the trash, then to let the hair fall out naturally all over your house. The more hair YOU remove the less you will see it all over your house. Brushing your dog once a day will greatly reduce the unwanted hair all over your clothes, carpet and furniture, especially during shedding season. There are products that can help you remove all the dead hair in a few grooming sessions, leaving less hair to fall out inside your house. During the shedding season, if you do not remove the shedding winter coat, you will most likely see it falling all out all over your house for about a period of a month or so.

There are physical problems that can cause large, abnormal amounts of shedding such as ringworm, skin infections, stress, mange and cancer. It is not normal for your dogs coat to thin as the dog gets older. If your dog's hair loss is abnormal you will see bald spots. If you see bald spots or you think your dog is shedding abnormally, take your dog to the vet.

Answer 4

When it has no hair left. Most dogs shed some hair all the time (like humans), and do a major shed 1-2 times a year. They shed when the weather changes, when they are nervous, and sometimes just because they can. If you dog sheds all year long, I'm afraid you'll just have to get used to it.

Answer 5

Never, their coats are in constant transition ie from winter coats to summer then from summer back to winter, also they shed when under stress, like vet visits, car rides if their not used to them, encounters with other dogs, that's called blowing coat. Regular grooming can lessen the shedding, but depending on the breed it never goes away. If it's a long haired dog it is a constant battle, short haired dogs are better, but some are worse than long coats, like my dalmation! Never again will I own one! Just depends on your breed, keep brushing. The more you bathe and brush the less they shed.

Answer 6

Most dogs will shed in the fall and spring so chances are the weather is changing and so is your dogs coat. It could take weeks before the whole coat sheds. If the coat is thick you can try a grooming rake to pull excessive hair out or if the hair will pluck out you can do most of it by hand. Groom him for a few minutes everyday and he should be shed in no time.

Answer 7

Some dogs shed and some don't. They shed more when the weather changes as they have a winter and summer coat. If your dog is only one that's supposed to shed with weather changes you can help speed up shedding by brushing the dog regulalry.

Answer 8

They usually sed all year long, more in the summer and spring to get rid of their winter coat. Like us, every day we have hairs grow in, and others fall out. Like us, they need to be brushed every day. There shouldn't be too much hair going in the brush during the winter, but there should be some. Take care.

Answer 9

Dogs don't stop shedding. Brush it and it will decrease the amount of hair that it is shedding.

Answer 10

Brushing your dog daily eliminates the amount of dog hair everywhere. Plus it's good for your dog.
