In the long term, you can try to reduce shedding by brushing your dog regularly. This will help to remove dead hair and prevent it from matting. You can also give your dog a bath with a deshedding shampoo to help remove loose hair.
You can help prevent the coat from thickening again by:
- Regularly grooming the coat to remove dead skin cells and loose hair.
- Providing the dog with a nutritious diet that is rich in protein and low in carbohydrates.
- Avoiding over-bathing the dog, as this can strip away natural oils from the skin and coat.
- Keeping the dog's living area clean and dry to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi.
