If you have a dog with a lot of hair, you know how much of a nightmare it can be to clean up after that dog when he sheds.
You very well could mop, sweep and vacuum the house one day only to find tufts of hair all over the place the next.
The problem is you are not being preemptive; you are reacting after the fact.
Instead you need to learn how use some dog grooming supplies to be a little more proactive to keep that hair from hitting the floor in the first place.
Brushing One of the first and easiest ways to remove hair from your dog, that loose hair at least is by brushing him regularly.
Most dogs, if you start them young, love the process of being brushed.
It's attention from you and generally it feels good to have that brush running down their skin.
If you get a good brush as part of your dog grooming supplies it will capture that loose hair you can be pulling handfuls of hair off of the brush everyday instead of having to sweep, mop or vacuum them off of the floor.
You may even want to make this a part of your daily ritual.
Make your dog know that right before breakfast or right before dinner you are going to have a brushing session and as soon as that is done he will get a treat and his evening or morning meal.
He'll be waiting, possibly with brush in mouth, every day.
Bathing How many baths your dog should have is going to differ by the dog.
Some dogs have more sensitive skin that is not really meant to be washed as much as other dogs.
But bathing is one way to work a lot of that loose hair out of that dog as well as get rid of some of the dirt and dander that can be attached to that hair which could cause all sorts of issues including allergies in you or those visiting your home.
When you give your dog a bath, take extra time doing this.
Don't just put the shampoo on, give a quick scrub and wash your dog off.
Instead work the lather through all of your dog's hair from top to bottom, taking the time to really rub it in.
This will help you work out any of that hair that is ready to work it's way off of your dog and onto the floor and instead let you wash it out into the tub, sink or yard where it's all in once space and easy to dispose of.
After you wash your dog, make sure to dry him with a towel as well as you can, which will remove more of the hair and then brush him really good which will take some of the last hair that has been sticking to him.
Hair Scrapers There are a number of devices out there today that are meant for dogs that shed a lot in the dog grooming supplies section of your pet store.
These all relatively fit into the category of hair scrapers.
Unlike a brush they have a thicker almost tooth-like surface that will literally pull loose hair out of your dog's coat.
This is more effective than brushing alone.
