A hilarious video recently went viral on TikTok of a pawrent lint rolling their Doberman to “start at the source” of the fur all around the house.
The viral video posted by @bearthedobie has now gotten over 9.2 million views and hundreds of comments from users who think Bear the Doberman is adorable. The video was accompanied with a caption that read: “POV: stop lint rolling your clothes and start at the source.”
@bearthedobie also wrote in the video, “his hair may be short but you can bet it gets everywhere,” which many users agreed with.
It’s important to understand that all dogs shed to some extent, as it is a natural process for them to get rid of dead hair and make way for new growth. However, excessive shedding can be a problem for some dog owners. Here are some tips to help minimize shedding:
- Regular grooming: Brushing your dog’s coat regularly can help remove loose hair and prevent it from falling out around your home. The frequency of brushing depends on the breed and coat type, but most dogs benefit from daily or weekly brushing.
- Proper nutrition: Feeding your dog a healthy diet can help promote healthy skin and coat, reducing excessive shedding.
- Regular bathing: Bathing your dog regularly can help remove loose hair and prevent mats and tangles, which can contribute to shedding. However, avoid over-bathing, as it can strip natural oils from your dog’s skin and coat.
- Manage stress: Stress and anxiety can contribute to excessive shedding in dogs. Make sure your dog is getting enough exercise and mental stimulation, and create a calm and comfortable environment for them.
- Consult with a vet: If you have tried the above methods and your dog is still shedding excessively, it may be a sign of an underlying health issue. Consult with your veterinarian to rule out any medical conditions that may be contributing to the shedding.
Remember, shedding is a natural process for dogs, and it is not possible to stop it completely. However, by following the above tips, you can help minimize shedding and keep your home and your dog’s coat clean and healthy.
