Spring is here, and while that means longer walks, blooming flowers, and more outdoor fun with your pup, it also brings one big problem… S-H-E-D-D-I-N-G.
If you're finding dog hair everywhere—on your couch, clothes, and even in your morning coffee—you’re not alone! Most dogs shed their winter coat in the spring, leaving owners frustrated with endless cleaning.
The good news? You don’t have to battle fur-covered furniture every day. With the right grooming routine, you can dramatically reduce shedding and keep your home clean—without spending hours vacuuming.
Why Do Dogs Shed More in Spring?
Dogs naturally grow a thick winter coat to stay warm. But when temperatures rise, they shed that extra fur to stay cool. This process, called seasonal shedding, happens every spring and fall.
Some breeds (like Huskies, Labs, and German Shepherds) shed heavily, while others (like Poodles and Yorkies) shed very little. But no matter your dog's breed, a proper grooming routine can control shedding before it takes over your home!
5 Easy Ways to Reduce Shedding This Spring
1. Brush Away Loose Fur Before It Hits the Floor
Brushing your dog removes dead hair before it falls onto your carpets and furniture. The best brushes depend on your dog’s coat type:
✅ Short-haired dogs → Use a rubber curry brush to lift loose fur.
✅ Medium to long-haired dogs → A slicker brush or undercoat rake removes trapped hair.
✅ Double-coated dogs → Use a deshedding tool to remove loose undercoat fur.
🔹 How often? At least 3–4 times a week for heavy shedders.
🔹 Pro Tip: Brush your dog outside to keep loose fur from flying around your house!
2. Trim Excess Fur to Control Shedding & Prevent Matting
Long, untrimmed fur traps loose hair, making shedding worse. Regular trimming helps:
✔️ Reduce excessive shedding
✔️ Prevent mats & tangles (which cause skin irritation)
✔️ Keep your dog’s coat healthy
Many pet owners rely on expensive groomers, but you can do it at home with the right tool—saving time and money.

3. Bath Your Dog the Right Way
Bathing helps remove loose hair and keeps their coat clean. But over-bathing can dry out their skin, leading to more shedding.
🛁 Best Bathing Tips:
✅ Use a shed-control shampoo with natural ingredients.
✅ Bathe once a month (or more often if your dog gets dirty).
✅ Always brush before and after the bath to remove loose fur.
💡 Bonus: A good bath loosens excess fur, making trimming easier with the EasyPaws Trimmer.
4. Feed Your Dog a Shedding-Reducing Diet
A healthy diet = a healthy coat. If your dog’s skin is dry, they’ll shed even more.
Essential nutrients for coat health:
✔️ Omega-3 & Omega-6 fatty acids (found in fish oil & flaxseed)
✔️ High-quality protein (real meat, not fillers)
✔️ Proper hydration (always provide fresh water!)
🐾 Pro Tip: Adding salmon oil or a skin & coat supplement can dramatically reduce shedding.
5. Keep Your Home Fur-Free with Smart Cleaning Hacks
No matter how much you groom, some fur will still find its way onto your furniture. Here are a few tricks to make cleanup easier:
🧹 Use a rubber squeegee to pull pet hair off carpets.
🛋️ Lint rollers & pet hair removers work great for couches & clothes.
🌀 Vacuum with a pet hair attachment to pick up loose fur fast.
