Puppy shedding might be a real problem. A lot of pets will shed their coats completely twice in a year's time. Once in the spring and once in the fall season. This is known as 'blowing off'. There's nothing you can do about this seasonal hassle other than to smile and tolerate it and prepare yourself.
Puppies which are frequently coming in and outside of the home will usually not develop as heavy a winter fur as the ones that spend almost all of their time outdoors. That being said the indoor outdoor canine will tend to shed more inconsistently than a canine that is always in the garden.

Regular brushing of your puppy will surely assist. Use a hair brush which is able to get right down to the pet's skin. Just brushing the top certainly won't help. Do not be too abrasive, you do not want to hurt the animal's skin, but you do need to brush the under coat and eliminate as many loose hairs as possible. This won't help to handle the shedding but will certainly aid in reducing the possibility of your dog getting mats.
Brushing will in addition give you the chance to do a quick check of your dog. You need to make certain that the shedding isn't attributable to anything besides regular seasonal changes or just normal hair loss. Abnormal shedding can be the result of a variety of different things you'll want to be familiar with. Pets may loose fur if they have a skin irritation. Irritations may be a result of anything from, unwanted organisms to allergies.
Dogs do have allergies. They can be allergic to everything from cleaning soap products to rug cleaning solutions. A few dogs sometimes loose fur if they've experienced a recent shock that could be brought on by anything from a move to a new person in the family.
If you see that your pet is losing hair in certain areas, and is appearing patchy you need to investigate. You should also be certain to look for any abnormal itching that your pet is doing. This might be an indicator that his epidermis is irritated and if left without treatment might cause sores along with fur loss.
Fur loss is something that every dog owner will need to deal with and while your pet is going through his regular seasonal hair loss, put a protective cover on your sofa and invest in the best vacuum.
