"The shedding process is a normal state characterized by the loss of hair, which is replaced by new hair growth.

Worry should only arise during shedding if it suddenly and sharply intensifies, leading to bald spots. Intensive hair loss can occur due to stress or other health issues in pets.

During spring and summer, in warmer seasons, shedding occurs less frequently. However, as it gets colder (in autumn and winter), shedding becomes more intense. In the cold, pets grow additional undercoats, making them fluffier and better insulated.

It's known that short hairs are more challenging to remove from furniture, carpets, and other interior items compared to long hairs. Breeds with long fur, in both cats and dogs, tend to shed more.

During the autumn shedding period, it's essential to help your beloved pet cope with renewing their fur.

How to Get Rid of Shedding Hair?

This question often troubles owners of fluffy pets, as the entire house can be covered in hair during shedding.

One way to reduce hair loss is regular grooming of your pet's fur. For dogs with thick undercoats, a brush (slicker brush) is necessary for this task. Cats can be groomed with a comb with long teeth, which also provides a body massage and prevents the formation of hairballs. Regular grooming helps remove loose hair. Groom your pet in the direction of hair growth to avoid causing pain or discomfort.

For pets that dislike grooming, consider using a special glove that fits on your hand. While petting your pet with it, you can also remove old, already shed hair. After the grooming session, reward your cat or dog with a treat.

In addition to brushes, slicker brushes, and special gloves, there are also mat breakers designed for cutting matted hair and removing excess undercoat.

Caring for Different Hair Types

Let's categorize fluffy pets to determine how best to care for their fur during the autumn shedding season.

Short-haired animals: Caring for this type of coat is relatively easy. We recommend purchasing slicker brushes, deshedders, and massage gloves for easy and quick hair removal. Check out these and other products on our online pet supply store.

Medium-haired cats and dogs: Slicker brushes and combs that handle medium-length hair are suitable and some of them even help with flea removal.

Thick (medium and long) fur:

Bamboo rake comb with rotating teeth for dogs and cats - with 16 and 32 teeth for different fur thickness.
Mat breakers - for combing and cutting existing mats.

Long-haired pets:

Bamboo rake comb with rotating teeth for dogs and cats - provides gentle care for fur.
Bamboo regular comb with rotating teeth for dogs and cats.

How to Prevent Hairballs in Cats?

When cats groom themselves, hairballs can accumulate in their stomach, leading to digestive issues like vomiting, constipation, and intestinal blockages. Observe your cat—if it constantly tries to regurgitate, coughs, or refuses food, it may have a hairball problem that needs addressing.

To prevent this issue, use brushes or special gloves to remove loose hair and consider using hairball control paste. Administer hairball control paste to your cat approximately once a month for 1-2 weeks or longer if needed. This paste helps coat the hairballs in the stomach and facilitates their natural elimination.

Why Use Anti-static Products?

During shedding, pet hair can end up everywhere in your home—on furniture, carpets, clothing, and even in the air. Dealing with it can be challenging, as it becomes charged with static electricity and clings to various surfaces.

Anti-static products effectively neutralize static charges, making the hair more manageable during brushing, trimming, and drying. It prevents the hair from getting electrified, tangling, and sticking to grooming tools, making it easier to handle.

Shed Control Shampoos

During shedding, consider using special shampoos that help remove loose hair while bathing your pet. Look for products labeled 'Shed Control.' These shampoos can help control hair shedding in dogs and cats and strengthen their weakened fur. They also nourish hair follicles and prevent skin dryness.

We hope the tips mentioned above will help you manage pet hair in your home. Despite the inconvenience of finding fur everywhere, our beloved pets give us immeasurable love, loyalty, joy, and friendship."
