Preventing and Controlling Pet Hair Loss

 
Hair loss in pets is most often caused by itching and skin diseases, but it may also be attributed to your pet's nutrition, organ function, blood flow, hormones, and behavior. To reduce your pet's hair loss:

 
  

Add an Omega 3 supplement.

Feed your pet a multivitamin with Omega 3 fatty acids which may help restore your pet's skin health, reducing hair loss.
 
 
  
 
Regular grooming may help control your pet's hair loss.
  

Apply a monthly flea preventative.

If your pet is constantly itching, this can cause hot spots and other skin diseases which may trigger hair loss. Give your pet a flea preventative to kill fleas and other pesky insects.

Groom regularly.

Wash and groom your pet frequently to remove bacteria from the skin and hair follicles.
 
"I have a German Shepherd who sheds excessively. I've used other brushes in the past and nothing compares to the Furminator." - Heidi
  

  

Establish a healthy diet.

Feed your pet food that is lean, nutritious, and fortified with vitamins and minerals. Need help selecting a healthy pet food for your pet? Visit our Pet Food Comparison Chart to see which foods are rated the highest by our pet food experts.
 
  

  
 
Max's Tip: Supplement your pet's diet with a fatty acid supplement like 1-800-PetMeds Brite Coat XS, which contains fatty acids Omega 3 and Omega 6 to help restore a soft and shiny coat.
