- Brush your dog regularly to remove loose fur and prevent excessive shedding. Pay special attention to your dog's undercoat, as this is the area where most of the shedding occurs.
- Vacuum frequently to manage hair around the house. Use a lint roller to remove hair from furniture and carpets. Consider investing in a de-shedding tool to reduce shedding even further.
- Bathe your dog occasionally with a gentle shampoo to help remove excess hair and dander. Avoid using harsh shampoos or brushes, as they can damage your dog's coat and cause further shedding. Brush your dog regularly to prevent mats and tangles.
- Ensure your dog is well-hydrated, as proper hydration contributes to a healthier coat. Offer your dog a healthy diet to ensure their coat stays healthy and strong. Ensure to provide plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to keep your dog's stress levels low.
