your favorite anti-shed tricks

Since we can't keep all the hair on our dogs - how do you deal with shedding?

[dawnandjr]

Brush the dog and vacuum/sweep the house. Feed a raw diet with Show Stopper supplement. The food part keeps the shedding to a minimum.

i comb (under coat comb) and use a pin brush 3 to 4 times
a week. vaccum or sweep every other day.

That's not an anti-shed trick, it's a go-with-the-flow routine.
As for anti-shedding tricks I am paying attention ... !

i don't think there's any anti-shed-tricks.
your dog is going shed naturally. if there
is a trick to slowing or stopping shedding
i wouldn't use it.

Furminator, and the vacuum cleaner.

We feed Taste of the Wild, and I got a good recommendation on here to use our Furminator in the bath tub after the bath, while the dog is still wet to "contain" the amount of hair and I do that now, best trick EVER!!!

i guess it depends on your dogs coat but the
Furminator didn't work on my dogs coat. it was taking out
to much hair and by the roots. i thinking on a wet dog it would be
worst. there's no trick involved when you brush or comb a wet dog.
you can brush or comb when the shampoo is on and it removes
hair. before a bathe my dog i use an under coat comb combing
in all directions. i let my dog air dry. once my dog is dry/near dry i comb him again.

Sometimes adding fatty acids (ie fish oil) to the diet will help prevent excessive shedding. But double-coated dogs are going to shed, there's no way around it. Good grooming of course helps keep up with the shedding but there's no way I know of to prevent it, short of shaving all the hair off.

Feed raw.
