Instructions
Brush your dog outdoors frequently to remove loose hair. Do not brush your dog inside, where the hair will settle on your floor and furniture. Depending on your dog's hair length, you may want to brush every other day or weekly.
Vacuum your carpet and furniture weekly to remove dog hair. Pay close attention to crevices and edges of carpet where hair likes to collect.
Use a sticky lint roller to remove stubborn dog hair from upholstery, drapes and clothing.
Dust flat surfaces, such as tables, weekly to remove settled dog hair.
Bathe your dog monthly (or more frequently if necessary) to remove loose hair and condition the skin and coat. Never bathe more once every two weeks.
Ask your dog groomer about shedding treatments if your dog sheds excessively.
Feed your dog a healthy name-brand dog food to promote a healthy coat and prevent excessive shedding.
Train your dog to stay off the furniture to minimize the amount of hair on your upholstery.
Limit your dog's access to areas that you want to protect from dog hair.
