Summer Shedding Survival Guide: Keep the Hair Off Your Sofa

Shedding Dog on a couch


As the temperatures rise and the sun shines brighter, you may notice your furry friend leaving behind a little more than love—we're talking about tufts of hair on your couch, your clothes, and just about everywhere else. Welcome to shedding season!

Summer is prime time for shedding, especially in double-coated breeds like Huskies, Golden Retrievers, and German Shepherds. But don’t worry—Southern Divine Kennels Pet Grooming has the tips and treatments to help keep your home (and your sanity) hair-free.


Why Pets Shed More in Summer


As your pet adjusts to the warmer weather, their body begins shedding their heavier winter coat to stay cool. This natural process can become overwhelming without a little maintenance.


Key Shedding Triggers:

  • Warmer temperatures

  • Longer daylight hours

  • Stress or dietary issues

  • Seasonal coat transitions


Top Tips to Manage Shedding at Home


  1. Brush, Brush, Brush! Use the right tools (slicker brushes, deshedding combs, and undercoat rakes) depending on your pet's coat type. Aim for brushing several times per week—or daily for heavy shedders.

  2. Bathe Regularly A good bath can loosen dead fur and promote healthier skin. Use a high-quality deshedding shampoo and conditioner combo for best results.

  3. Keep Them Hydrated A well-hydrated pet will have healthier skin and fur. Make sure your pet has constant access to fresh water.

  4. Nutrition Matters Omega-3 fatty acids and a well-balanced diet can greatly reduce excessive shedding.

  5. Regular Grooming Appointments Professional deshedding treatments make all the difference—especially during high-shed months. Our groomers use high-velocity dryers and specialized tools to remove loose hair safely and effectively.


Why Professional Deshedding Treatments Work


At Southern Divine Kennels Pet Grooming, our deshedding services go beyond the basics. Here’s what your pet gets during a deshedding treatment:


  • Premium deshedding shampoo & conditioner

  • High-velocity blowout to remove loose undercoat

  • Thorough brush-out with professional tools

Your pet will leave lighter, cooler, and looking their best—and you’ll notice a significant drop in fur around the house!
