Top Vet Tips for Shedding Season: Keep Your Home Fur‑Free & Your Pet Comfortable

Shedding season can mean tumbleweeds of pet hair—and itchy, uncomfortable skin for your furry friend. We’ve gathered expert advice from leading veterinarians to help you breeze through shedding season. Plus, discover how the MistyBrush™ 3‑in‑1 Steam Pet Groomer can revolutionize your routine and keep both you and your pet happy.

1. Brush Early and Often

Why: Regular brushing removes loose undercoat before it falls around your home—and stimulates important skin oils for a healthy, shiny coat.

• Vet Advice: Aim for 3–4 sessions per week during peak shedding.

• Pro Tool: The MistyBrush™ combines gentle steam with soft bristles to loosen dander and undercoat without pulling or tugging.

“Steam‑brushing not only lifts stray hairs but soothes dry skin, reducing itchiness and hot spots.”
— Dr. Olivia Zhang, DVM

2. Choose the Right Brush for Your Breed

Why: Different coat types (short, double, curly) require specific bristle lengths and patterns.

• Vet Advice: Consult your groomer or veterinarian for a breed‑specific tool.

• Pro Tip: MistyBrush™’s universal bristle head works on everything from silky Persians to dense Huskies—plus the steam feature adapts to coat thickness.

3. Keep Skin Hydrated & Healthy

Why: Dry, flaky skin sheds more heavily—and can lead to irritation.

• Vet Advice: Supplement with omega‑3 fatty acids, and consider a humidifier in very dry climates.

• Pro Routine: After steam‑brushing, apply a pet‑safe oatmeal spray or leave‑in conditioner to lock in moisture.

4. Monitor Diet & Supplements

Why: Nutrition directly impacts coat quality and shedding volume.

• Vet Advice: Look for high‑quality protein sources and add fish oil or flaxseed oil for essential fatty acids.

• Pro Resource: Speak to your vet about a blood test if excessive shedding persists outside of seasonal peaks.

5. Bathe Strategically

Why: Over‑bathing can strip natural oils; under‑bathing leaves dead hair trapped.

• Vet Advice: Schedule baths every 4–6 weeks—more often only if your dog swims or rolls in mud.

• Steam‑Assist: Use MistyBrush™ steam brushing before bath time to lift loose hairs so they rinse away in the tub, not on your floor.

6. Create a No‑Stress Grooming Environment

Why: Anxiety increases shedding hormones and makes grooming a battle.

• Vet Advice: Work in short, positive sessions with treats and praise.

• Ambiance Tips: Play calming music, use pheromone diffusers, and groom on a non‑slip surface.

• Steam Soother: The warm mist from MistyBrush™ feels like a mini‑spa treatment, helping nervous pets relax.

7. Vacuum & Clean Strategically

Why: Even with top brushing tips, some hairs will escape—so stay ahead of the mess.

• Vet Advice: Vacuum weekly with a pet‑hair‑specific attachment.

• Bonus Tip: Wipe down furniture and bedding with a damp microfiber cloth to catch clinging fur.

— Dr. Marcus Lee, Veterinary Dermatologist
