Autumn is an important time in the calendar of dog owners for two big reasons: it is important to protect them from the dreaded leishmaniasis and it involves the tedious shedding of hair. Although some dogs lose hair throughout the year, most renew their coat mainly in spring and autumn. In the first case, to get rid of thicker hair and stay cool in the face of rising temperatures. And, in the second, to make room for a mantle that protects them from the cold.
Shedding in autumn varies considerably from one breed of dog to another, taking into account their coat type. For example, there are some breeds that do not shed or lose hair, such as poodles. However, others with short hair such as the dachshund show much more noticeable shedding of their coat in spring and autumn.
As a result of the abundant shedding, the entire house is filled with dead hair, the furniture, the clothes, the hands when caressing them... Although it is a natural and harmless process, which lasts between one and two months, there are some tips with which we can cope with dog hair loss in autumn.
