Advice for Cat and Dog Owners

Brushing

The best way to handle the total amount of pet shedding is to continuously brush them; however, depending on different coat types, you should choose different brushes. A brush suitable for Greyhound fur is not suitable for grooming Eskimo dog hair. Brushes for cats are generally softer than those for dogs. When purchasing, you might tell the pet store owner your needs so they can give appropriate advice.

Also, you can increase brushing frequency according to the degree of shedding. Generally, some long-haired cats and dogs need to be brushed once daily, while short-haired pets can be brushed once a week.
