Springtime Shedding tips from Bark N Bubbles



SPRINGTIME SHEDDING
Spring brings lots of things that we all look forward to, but cleaning up after a pet that sheds hair non-stop isn’t on that list. Unfortunately, it’s a fact of life that most pests shed, and spring is the time when many pets “blow” their coat – everywhere
That’s when the problems really begin… The hair starts shedding, and soon it is all over your furniture, floors, car and you. Is there anything that can be done to control all that hair?
A good place to start is to bring your pet to your groomer for a professional de-shedding. Advanced training in hair removal techniques and in the use of specialized tools allow groomers to remove more of the unwanted hair than ordinary bushing and combing can do.
There is really a lot involved in a complete de-shedding. It is a very messy and quite time consuming procedure, but it surely gets rid of a lot of the loose hair. In the salon, your pet will be thoroughly brushed and then place in the bathtub. Special de-shedding shampoo and then conditioner is massaged deeply into the coast to stimulate the hair follicles and help loosen the undercoat. 

Following a very thorough rinsing and towel drying, a high velocity dryer is used to separate and remove the loose hair from the coat as it dries. After your pet is dry, specialized tools are used by the groomer to complete the de-shedding process.
During this process, your pet’s hair follicles are disturbed and you may notice some stress shedding for the first 24 hours. After that you will see a dramatic reduction in the amount of unwanted hair on your pet and in your home
Because each individual hair has it’s own time table to grown and then fall out, de-shedding is not a one time procedure. Your groomer can determine how often your pet will need to return to keep the unwanted hair to a minimum.
So if your pet is leaving  hair all over your home Just call our salon and we will be glad to put  him or her on a grooming schedule that will keep the unwanted hair under control.
When there is less hair all throughout your home, it makes like so much easier for you. Instead of constantly running the vacuum cleaner and removing hair from your furniture and clothing, you and your pet will have more time to relax and to enjoy all the fun things spring has to offer
