It\u2019s natural and can\u2019t be avoided, <strong>but what\u2019s the purpose of dog shedding<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<p>Spring is almost here and it\u2019s a time of changes. We can have more time outside with our dogs as the temperatures rises but it also means that shedding starts. Dog hair is all over the house and it can be very uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dogs usually shed during spring and fall<\/strong> to adapt to the new temperature and light. They have a coat for the summer and a coat for the winter. <strong>It\u2019s possible for some dogs to shed all year if they live inside a house with artificial temperature and light<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Shedding is a physiological process not common to all races, its intensity and duration depends of the type of hair in each animal. The dog\u2019s coat, no matter the length; short, long or curly, can fit into two groups:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Simple shedding: <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Yorkshire terrier, caniche and other dogs with similar characteristics belong to this group. This type of dog only has one layer of hair that falls off and it\u2019s important to comb it regularly to avoid tangles.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Double coat shedding<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Dogs with this type of coat have a higher density of hair due to the secondary coat of hair located below the primary coat. Breeds with double coats include the German shepherd and mixed breed dogs that have similar characteristics.<\/p>\n<p>To avoid having dog hair all over the house it is recommended to comb him often. <strong>Combing your dog will remove dead hair that is about to fall off<\/strong>, it is a simple solution that we often forget. There are many combs or brushes in the market to choose from; combs specialized for shedding, metallic brushes or rubber brushes. It is recommended to give the dog regular baths as well.<\/p>\n<p>Shedding isn\u2019t the only reason why hair falls off, there are other reasons that need to be considered. <strong>If we notice that a lot of hair is falling off when it isn\u2019t shedding season it may mean that there is a health problem.<\/strong> Some <strong>causes include: allergies, stress, anxiety, nutritional deficiencies, lack of hygiene or parasites from scabies. <\/strong>Symptoms include: itching and licking compulsively, in this case it\u2019s recommended to go to the vet.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Fila&#8221; make_fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; use_custom_width=&#8221;off&#8221; width_unit=&#8221;on&#8221; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;off&#8221; padding_mobile=&#8221;off&#8221; allow_player_pause=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;off&#8221; make_equal=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_1=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method_1=&#8221;off&#8221; column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243;][et_pb_divider admin_label=&#8221;Separador&#8221; color=&#8221;#afd59d&#8221; show_divider=&#8221;on&#8221; divider_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; divider_position=&#8221;top&#8221; hide_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221;] [\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Texto&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;] You may also like: [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blog admin_label=&#8221;Blog&#8221; fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; include_categories=&#8221;58,48,43&#8243; show_thumbnail=&#8221;on&#8221; show_content=&#8221;off&#8221; show_more=&#8221;off&#8221; show_author=&#8221;on&#8221; show_date=&#8221;on&#8221; show_categories=&#8221;on&#8221; show_comments=&#8221;on&#8221; show_pagination=&#8221;on&#8221; offset_number=&#8221;0&#8243; use_overlay=&#8221;off&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; use_dropshadow=&#8221;off&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; posts_number=&#8221;3&#8243;] [\/et_pb_blog][et_pb_divider admin_label=&#8221;Separador&#8221; color=&#8221;#afd59d&#8221; show_divider=&#8221;on&#8221; divider_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; divider_position=&#8221;top&#8221; hide_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221;] [\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Texto&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;] Share on: [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dog shedding is something that happens to every dog at least twice a year.
