How to Stop Your Chugs From Shedding

Chugs shed their coats, but not nearly as much as huskies or golden retrievers. Chugs are a mix of a Chihuahua and a pug and are also called Pughuahuas, Chugs are known for their minimal to average shedding. Start grooming your chug puppy when he's six weeks old. You can't prevent a chug from shedding her hair, but regular grooming can help reduce the amount of hair that falls out in your home and on your furniture.

Instructions

    • 1

      Brush your chug's hair in the direction it grows. Brushing helps remove loose hair. Avoid brushing your dog's hair after a bath .

    • 2

      Bathe your chug at least once a month. Bathing your dog too often will dry out his skin and cause the hair to fall out. Only use shampoo designed for dogs and as little as possible. Avoid getting the shampoo in your dog's eyes.

      Wet a towel and rub it on your chug's fur. The towel will "catch" any loose hair.
