Spring Has Sprung... Spring Shedding Has Begun!

Your pet may be HomeSafe.... but are you prepared for the flood of shedding pet hair that accompanies spring?

Here are some tips from the good folks that make FURminator deShedding Products... to help you cope with your pet's furry spring flurry!

Diet plays a key role in your pet's overall health. Feeding your pet a quality pet food with protein, vitamins and Omega-Fatty Acids will promote a healthy weight and topcoat and can help reduce shedding.

Scratch the Itch: Pets can itch because of fleas, dry skin or even a skin allergy, which can spread dander throughout the house. Whatever the cause, make sure to speak with your veterinarian to help your pets feel and look their best.

Love Your Pet, Hate the Shedding? Use a professional style grooming tool, such as the FURminator, to reduce the amount of fur left on floors, couches and clothes

Lessen Allergies and Sneezing by creating allergy-free areas for family members with pet allergies. Restrict animals to certain rooms of your home and consider using allergen-resistant covers on mattresses and pillows. Regular grooming will also decrease the amount of airborne allergens and dander around the house.

Remove Pet Hair From Upholstery daily with a lint roller... before fur works its way into fabric. If pets are allowed on the furniture, consider investing in furniture throws that can be laundered - this will keep your home looking and smelling better.
