Any way to stop dog moulting?

Question

I have a lovely jack russell x staffie. Trouble is she moults everywhere! I had a dark blue carpet, it is now light blue as she is mainly white.

Other than shaving her every month, is there any other way that I can stop her moutling so much? A friend mentioned to me that they had heard of some sort of injection that can be given to dogs to stop them moulting, but I've never heard of it.

I like my carpet, but it's gotten to the stage where I'm now walking on a carpet of dog hair! Even though I vaccuum every day.

Answer 1

Nope, it's natural for a dog to moult. There is nothing that will stop a dog moulting, but you can make things better by regular grooming. This time of year is the worst because dogs are losing their winter coats & you can hasten the process by bathing your dog then giving her a thorough grooming afterwards. For the next few days she'll be even worse, but after that it should improve.
If your dog hasn't been spayed, you'll find she's worse a few months before she comes into season, depending on the breed she may be better if spayed.

Answer 3

Regular brushing helps, and you can buy Vitapet moult formula, it's an oil you add to their food. It takes about 2 or 3 weeks to start working but once it is an established part of their diet you will find that the moulting will only occur with the changing seasons, ie spring & autumn. You can buy Vitapet from most pet shops for about £3 a bottle.

I've had all kinds of dogs and different breeds and I know If your dog enjoys lying in front of a fire or radiator, then they are more than likely to be susceptible to moulting problems. Or you can also help replenish the natural oil levels in her coat by supplementing her diet with Vitapet, an oil-based supplement. The oils protect the coat from heat and are also necessary for healthy hair growth. OH ALSO groom regularly to help remove dead hair and continue to use a supplement to keep moulting in check. Hope that helps!

It is natural for dogs to moult. I find that if I bath my dog in the middle of the moult, I get hairs for 24 hours, then it stops,
Do speak to your Vet, he is the expert.

Oh the joy's of dog owner-ship!!!!!
No nothing stops the moulting and at this time of the year it's bad as they lose the winter coat!
Swap you though! Even after daily grooming My dog is turning my carpet from red to beige even before I get the hoover put away! She's also 3 times the size!

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aU7jC

A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Answer 10

You can't stop a dog moulting, that's the way it works for them.
A good, frequent groom might help.
