Reduce Dog Shedding: Tips and Tricks for a Hair-Free Home

Jacob Munro • August 6, 2024

Dogs are the best companions, and we love them. However, we don't love the hair they shed all over our home or car making it look like a fur-covered mess. Shedding is a natural process for dogs, but it can be frustrating for pet owners.


While you can’t completely eliminate shedding, there are steps you can take to significantly reduce it. Here are some tips and tricks to help you manage your dog's shedding, featuring advice from the best dog groomers in Toronto, Paws in the Bath.

To reduce dog shedding and keep your home hair-free, consider these tips:


  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Always consult with your veterinarian for tailored advice for your dog. Provide your dog with love and attention, as this helps to build a bond and reduce stress. Visit your veterinarian regularly for check-ups and vaccinations.


By following these tips and tricks, you can significantly reduce your dog's shedding and maintain a cleaner home. Regular brushing, proper bathing, a nutritious diet, professional grooming, and consistent cleaning routines are all essential. For the best results, consider partnering with the best dog groomers in Toronto at Paws in the Bath.
