Pawparents know that living with pets means dealing with the problem of hair loss, unless you choose to raise a breed that does not shed hair, but most breeds still shed hair.

So I believe that most pawparents will buy a pet brush and will regularly shedding fur baby hair to keep their fur clean. But do you know how often you should shedding?

To answer this question, we need to know the type of fur of your fur baby.

Dogs can be divided into the following 5 categories:

Smooth: The hair is close to the body, like a dachshund. These dog breeds need regular shedding, but no need to brush their fur frequently. It is recommended to shedding only once a week for 5 to 10 minutes each time;

Double-layer fur: Soft undercoat and hard topcoat, like Husky, German Shepherd, etc. The soft undercoat can provide insulation, and the hard topcoat can prevent water and dust. Because this double coat can be short or long, so they require more grooming. It is recommended to groom them every 1-2 days for 5 to 10 minutes each time.

Long-haired: Long, coarse coat with an undercoat, like the Irish Setter, requires almost daily grooming, especially during shedding season. Silky, long coat with no undercoat, like the Maltese, requires regular grooming because the fine coat still poses a risk of tangling and knotting. It is recommended to groom once a day for 5 to 10 minutes each time.

Wire-haired: Coarse, short coat that feels rough and has bristles. Many terriers, as well as the Irish Wolfhound, have hard coats that tangle easily and require regular grooming with a smooth pin comb. It is recommended to groom them every 2-3 days for 5 to 10 minutes each time.

Curly: Dense, soft curls close to the body, such as Poodles or Bichon Frise. Keep curly hair trimmed because their hair grows quickly and may tangle. It is recommended to comb it every 1-2 days for 5 to 10 minutes each time.

Cats can be divided into the following 3 categories:

Short-haired: Cats have fur lengths up to 2 inches/5cm. Such as American Shorthair, British Shorthair, etc. Short-haired cats only need to be groomed about once a week for 5 to 10 minutes each time because they have a low hair loss rate. Shedding frequently will remove the natural oils on the fur that keep the skin healthy, causing skin problems.

Medium-long-haired: Cats have fur lengths of about 2-5 inches/5cm-12.7cm. Such as Ragdoll cats, Somali cats, etc. They need to be groomed regularly. Shedding two to three times a week is enough. Regular Shedding can help their fur stay soft and shiny and remove any small clumps.

Long-haired: Cats have long-haired hair, such as Maine Coon and Persian cats. Long-haired cats need to be groomed for 5 to 10 minutes every day to avoid tangles. Shedding kitten's fur every day can help them stay healthy and in the best condition.

After know the fur types of dogs and cats, you should think that it is important to have a right brush for your fur kids, which can save you some unnecessary troubles.

Pet slicker brushes with release button are reliable tools that most pawparents should have, so what we want to recommend is such a pet mango brush.

Use the correct brushing technique, starting with the head or neck (an area where pets usually like to be brushed), then work your way to the back and finally the rest of the area. Don't brush too fast or too hard, as this may irritate your pet's skin or scare them. Give them treats after each successful brushing, and they will be willing to be brushed after a few rounds.

Pin brushes should be cleaned after each use. Use warm water and mild soap to remove any fur or debris from the pins. You can also use a toothbrush or steel comb to clean the pins if they are very dirty. Let the brush air dry before using it again.
