Shedding is probably one of the most irritating aspects of owning a pet. Regardless of age or breed, all dogs and cats (except for a few hairless breeds) shed to some degree, with some more than others. Animals shed to get rid of old, damaged or extra hair, and commonly go through two shedding seasons: spring and fall.

BRUSHING HELPS: Brushing the dog at least once a week, regardless of breed, can help reduce the amount of hair all over the house. Some dogs require much more frequent brushings, but once a week is a good starting point. THE BRUSH MATTERS: For double-coated breeds, such as huskies, chows, collies, golden retrievers and
