Veterinarian San Jose California

One of the most common problems pets owners come to our veterinarian clinic in San Jose California about is their dogs shedding. Dogs shed different ways and amounts depending on the breed of dog and the ambient climate. But one thing is certain when your dog sheds it is messy and if you are allergic it is that much more troublesome. Short haired and hairless dog owners don't have much to worry about but if you just so happen to have a long haired dog you are in for a hairy time. Even the relatively short haired dog it can give you a very difficult time while it shed. The problem is that their hair goes everywhere and gets into everything. As they lose their hair the wind blows it through the house into the bedroom into the kitchen onto the food etc… The best thing you can do is to catch the problem early. You know that your dog is going to shed so have your brush ready and when you see the first signs, go to work. Brushing away the shedding hair doesn't guarantee that you will have no hair flying around your house and going up your nose but it will certainly help keep the problem to a minimum. If you suffer from allergies there are a few things which you can do such as getting shots or taking anti-allergy pills. There are also nasal sprays and the like. What we try to help people to understand at our San Jose California veterinarian clinic is that it isn't something your dog is doing intentionally to make your life miserable. So whatever you do don't take it out on the dog or become angry and irritable with it. The shedding cycle will pass.
