Shedding Season Survival: 5 Tips to Keep Your Home (and Sanity) Intact
Spring is in the air... and so is the fur.
If you feel like you’re finding little tufts of your dog's coat everywhere—on your clothes, your couch, even in your morning coffee—you’re not alone. It's officially shedding season, and while we can't stop Mother Nature (or your dog’s coat cycle), we can help you survive it like a pro.
At Floof by Brodie, we’re all about embracing the floof—but with a little less chaos. Here’s your ultimate Shedding Season Survival Guide, featuring our favorite tricks, tools, and grooming essentials to keep your pup floofy and fresh.
Step 1 – Accept Your Fate
Hair on your clothes? Your couch? In your morning coffee?
Your dog’s not broken—it’s just shedding season. Instead of fighting it, set yourself up for success with a few simple routines (and the right tools) to manage the madness.
Step 2 – Start with a Spritz & Shine
Say hello to your new best friend: Floof Juice.
This lightweight dry spray is a lifesaver for shedding season. It detangles, conditions, adds shine, and leaves your pup smelling amazing—even if the rest of your house smells like wet dog. A few spritzes before brushing make a hugedifference in tackling loose fur without pulling or causing discomfort.
Step 3 – Brush Like a Boss
When it comes to shedding, prevention is key—and that means brushing before the floof falls out all over your house.
The Brodie Brush is designed with long, angled pins that reach deep into the coat without scratching your dog’s skin. Regular use helps remove loose hair before it ends up on your furniture (or in your coffee again). Plus, it’s a relaxing bonding ritual your pup will actually enjoy.
Step 4 – Bathe, But Not Too Much
You might be tempted to bathe your dog more often during shedding season, but trust us—less is more.
Frequent baths can strip the natural oils that actually help manage shedding. Stick to a gentle formula like Floof Everydog Shampoo, which cleans thoroughly without over-drying. A bath every 4–6 weeks is usually perfect for maintaining a healthy, happy coat.
Step 5 – Embrace the Fur Life
Here’s the truth: your dog sheds because they’re fabulous.
No fancy tool, product, or technique will stop shedding completely—and that’s okay. The occasional floof tumbleweed is just part of the deal. Celebrate the cuddles, the kisses, and yes, even the fur, because that’s what makes life with a dog so wonderfully messy and full.
