Pet owners have come to terms with never leaving the house without at least one stray strand of fur on their clothes. While we cannot actually stop a dog or cat from shedding, we can help reduce the amount of loose hair, and also manage it so that it doesn’t become a problem in our homes.
1. Brush your pet often.
Regular brushing is the best thing you can do to keep your home as fur-free as possible. Daily brushing helps to keep your pet’s coat healthy, softer, cleaner and less likely to shed.
2. Feed the right food.
The condition of your pet’s coat is often the result of the type of food he or she eats. If you invest in premium high quality pet food with good digestible protein sources, you’ll find you have much less fur balls flying around. And with proper digestion, your pets’ body can better absorb the nutrients, thus resulting in healthier skin and coat.

3. Use the right brush. There are many types of brushes for dogs. Slicker brushes, shedding blades and pin brushes all have specific functions and work best on the type of coat they are designed for. Most pets require more than just one type of brush to remove their dead undercoats. Roots Recommends: Kong ZoomGroom

4. Control allergies and fleas. Make sure your pet is getting preventive treatment for fleas, ticks, and his or her allergies. If your pet is suffering from allergies and fleas, he or she could be scratching a lot, which then leads to more shedding. Roots All Natural – Herbal Flea & Tick Shampoo
