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
