Even short-haired dogs shed, and consistent grooming can significantly help manage it. Aim for a weekly brushing session, using a rubber curry brush or a de-shedding tool designed for short coats. Regular brushing helps remove loose hair, distribute natural skin oils, and stimulate circulation, promoting a healthier coat. Bathing every 4-6 weeks with a good quality shampoo can also help release dead hair. Ensuring a balanced diet rich in omega fatty acids can also support skin and coat health, potentially reducing excessive shedding.
