As a long-haired creature, dogs will inevitably lose their hair in winter. How to care for them?

Nowadays, more and more people keep dogs, and everyone pays great attention to the health of dogs. However, dog owners are often troubled by the problem of dog hair loss in winter. They feel very uncomfortable when they go home every day. In particular, I have a long-haired dog at home, which is even worse. Today we will learn why dogs lose their hair. What should we do?

There are many reasons for dog hair loss, and seasonal hair loss is a very important reason for dog hair loss in winter. Dogs shed their hair in spring and autumn, because dogs don't need to be so hairy in summer. When the weather gets warmer, they shed their old hair and regulate their body temperature to make themselves less hot. In winter, dogs will take off their coarse hair and put on fluff to warm their bodies. Therefore, it is normal for dogs to lose their hair in winter, so don't worry too much. We just need to comb the dog's hair more during the period of hair loss, clean up the hair falling from the dog, and prevent the dog's hair from being everywhere in the house.

Another reason why dogs lose their hair in winter is that dogs may have skin diseases or lice and fleas. Dogs scratch their hair with claws or teeth because of itching, which causes a lot of dog hair to fall off. There are also dogs that can't get sunshine for a long time, and they are kept indoors all the year round, which will also cause dogs to lose their hair. Dogs lose their hair in winter, so we need to get into the habit of grooming dogs twice a day. Frequent grooming can reduce the itching of dogs' skin. We can also dress our dog to prevent its hair from flying around the house.

It is also necessary to choose the right dog shower gel. A good shower gel can better protect the dog's skin, reduce the amount of hair loss and help the dog prevent some skin diseases. In terms of diet, you also need to be careful not to give dogs some foods with too high salt content.
