With shedding season just around the corner, a boost in your
pet's nutrition could help tremendously in minimizing excessive hair bombs in
your house! Nutrition is a key
component of a healthy coat and every bit as important as grooming. Try adding
(or replacing a small amount of food with) Evanger's Grain-Free Wild Salmon
to your pet's diet. This powerful mixer is rich in protein and Omega fatty
acids, helping to nourish the skin and strengthen the hair shaft.
It is important to
keep up a regular grooming routine. Many moisturizing shampoos designed
for sensitive skin are available through your veterinarian or at specialty pet
supply stores that can help manage excessive shedding. Specially designed
brushes can also help harvest your pet’s loose undercoat before it ends up all
over the floor or couch. However, be sure to use your de-shedding tool in your
yard or at the park, and collect the hair for proper disposal.
If at any point you notice your pet shedding more than
normal, it could be a sign of a more serious condition. Bald patches and
significant hair loss could be related to allergies, bacterial infections,
stress or hormonal imbalances, and should be investigated by a veterinarian
immediately. However, most often shedding is normal and can be minimized with a
premium, high quality diet and consistent grooming.
