How to Control Dog Shedding at Home in India
Pet Hair Everywhere? 7 Easy Ways to Control Shedding at Home
If you live with a furry tornado disguised as a dog, you know the struggle is real. Pet hair on your sofa, in your tea, and probably on your soul. But hey, you're not alone. Indian pet parents across hot summers, monsoons, and dusty winters deal with the same shed storm.
Let’s fix that, shall we? Here are 7 tried-and-tested ways to reduce shedding at home—without stressing you or your doggo out.
1. Brush, Don't Battle
Regular brushing removes loose fur before it decorates your home. For desi breeds like Indies or heavy shedders like Labs and Huskies, aim for 3-4 times a week.
Chullbull Pick: Slicker Brush—gentle on fur, tough on tangles.
2. Use a De-shedding Tool Weekly
A de-shedding comb gets deeper than your average brush and pulls out the undercoat that causes most of the mess.
Chullbull Pick: De-shedding Comb—especially good during seasonal shedding.
3. Switch to a Nutrient-Rich Diet
Poor nutrition = dry skin = more hair fall. Foods rich in omega-3 and protein keep your pet’s coat shiny and strong.
Pro Tip: Add fish oil supplements after vet approval.
4. Bath Time with the Right Shampoo
Don’t overwash. But when you do bathe, use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo. Harsh ones dry out skin and increase shedding.
5. Vacuum with Purpose
Use a vacuum with a pet-hair brush head. Focus on sofa corners, rugs, and that weird spot under the fridge.
6. Keep Them Hydrated
Water helps maintain skin elasticity. Less flaky skin = less loose fur.
Place bowls in multiple rooms so your pupper always finds a sip nearby.
7. Regular Vet Check-Ups
Excessive shedding could be due to allergies, parasites, or thyroid issues. Don’t ignore sudden changes in coat condition.
Shedding Isn’t a Curse, Just a Curve
It’s all about routine. A bit of brushing here, a good shampoo there, and a cuddle in between—and you’re golden.
