Spring time - Goodbye winter coat

​It’s springtime! It’s shedding season!
As the owner of a double-coated dog and other similar breeds, I can totally understand your pain in the spring season fur-pocalypse. SO.MUCH.FUR
It is literally everywhere, dust bunny galore, and when you think you've just got it all vacuumed up, they appear again. It feels like a never-ending battle that you just cannot win. 
But can you?
Before you throw in the towel, read my recommendations from years of living with multiple dogs in the house:

-Invest in good grooming tools, like a slicker brush with a release button on the back and an undercoat rake to get all the loose hair out. A curry brush with long rubber numbs and a de-shedding blade work wonders as well.
-Giving your dog baths with a de-shedding shampoo like the Furminator brand
-Using a special dog hair dryer like grooming salons do to help blow the hair
-Brush your dog daily
-Invest in a shop vac for in-house use ( believe me, a regular vacuum isn’t cutting it) in combination with a robot vacuum
-Fish oil supplements to help improve the coat condition 
-Regular swimming in appropriate bodies of water can help loosen the hair as well

Last but not least, be patient. While the coat blowout is annoying, it is part of dog ownership.
