Shedding Season Survival
An interactive guide to taming your dog's summer "fur-ricane" and ensuring their comfort and safety.
The Summer "Fur-ricane"
As days get longer and hotter, dogs naturally shed their thick winter undercoat for a lighter summer one. This is a normal biological process, but it's important to distinguish it from abnormal shedding that could indicate health issues. This guide will help you navigate the season with confidence.
Heavy Shedders Spotlight
Some breeds are champions of shedding, largely due to their double coats. This dense undercoat provides insulation in winter and, paradoxically, helps keep them cool in summer. Understanding your dog's coat type is the first step to proper care.
The chart above categorizes common breeds known for significant seasonal shedding. Proper grooming is essential for these breeds, but shaving is never the answer, as it removes their natural protection against heat and sun.
Home Grooming Toolkit
A consistent grooming routine is your best defense. The right tools and frequency can dramatically reduce loose fur while promoting a healthy coat and skin.
Brushing Frequency Guide
This chart illustrates the recommended weekly brushing frequency based on coat type, with a special note for the increased needs of double-coated breeds during peak summer shedding.
Recommended Professional Grooming
Professional grooming provides deep cleaning and de-shedding that's hard to achieve at home. This schedule ensures optimal coat health and comfort throughout the summer.
