Nearly 40 percent of U.S. households have a dog, and for some, shedding is a constant concern, especially during the steamy, summer months. But not to worry, pet parents, you can help prevent excessive shedding—and save your home from furry tumbleweeds—with regular grooming sessions.
Dr. Kat Miller, ASPCA Director of Applied Science and Research, notes that regular grooming sessions will help remove dirt, prevent tangles and keep your pet’s skin clean and irritant-free. Plus, grooming time is a great time to check for fleas and flea dirt, those little black specks that indicate a pet is playing
host to a flea family.
In support of the ASPCA, Dyson, makers of pet-friendly vacuums, have donated products and funding to help pets in need. Together with Dyson, we’re pleased to present additional grooming tips below.
* We recommend bathing your dog at least once every three months. Your pet may require more frequent baths if she spends a lot of time outdoors.
* Using a shampoo formulated for pets is best. Human shampoos aren't toxic to pets, but some may contain
fragrances or other substances that can irritate pets' skin.
* If your pet is shedding excessively, please check with your veterinarian to determine if your dog’s hair loss is part of the normal shedding process or is a symptom of an underlying disorder.
* If your dog has a long, luxurious coat, she’ll need daily attention to remove tangles.
The Dyson Groom tool, a self-cleaning vacuum accessory designed to capture a dog’s hair before it spreads around the house, is made for use on medium to long-haired dogs. The Dyson Groom has stainless steel bristles and removes loose hair from your dog, and then hygienically transfers the captured hair and allergens to the vacuum.
The Dyson Groom joins a full range of pet hair solutions by Dyson, including the Dyson Animal vacuum, designed to remove dirt and pet hair from the home and car. For more pet hair care hints, please visit our Grooming FAQ.
