Chapter 12Pets & Animals

How do I stop my dog from shedding so much?

Shedding is normal and mostly unstoppable. Brush 2–3 times a week (daily during seasonal blows), use a de-shedding tool like a Furminator, and add omega-3 to their diet. Bathing too often actually worsens it.

Follow-up questions

Which breeds don't shed?

Poodles, poodle mixes, bichons, Portuguese water dogs. 'Hypoallergenic' is marketing — all dogs produce some dander.

Excessive shedding a red flag?

Along with itching, bald patches, or dull coat — yes. Check for allergies, thyroid, or nutrition issues.
