You can try fish oil, but really the best thing to do is brush more often.

Introduction
If you have pets, your going to have hair here and there. However, you don’t have to live in fear of breaking world record hair balls on a daily basis. You do have some control over how much your pet sheds.

Steps
1Step OneFirst, the obvious is that you need to brush your dog. The trick is to have the proper tools to do it. I prefer the Furminator comb. A mars rake does a nice job as well as does the Shed Ease. Don’t just brush your dog when matts begin to appear but make it a daily or at least every other day activity. It won’t take as long and the effect will be better.
2Step TwoShampoo. Yes, shampooing your dog can help them ease up on the shedding. But not just any shampoo. Do NOT use human shampoo. Human shampoo is not PH balanced properly for a dog and you will dry up their hair and end up with dandruff and MORE shedding hair! Furthermore, there are many shedding specific dog shampoos on the market to choose from.
When you wash your dog, do not use hot water. Don’t wash your dog in icy cold water, either. That’s just not nice. But do use a tepid temperature water
3Step ThreeWhen you dry your dog, do not use heat. Dry your dog with a air temperature air flow. Heat causes shedding. And if you can, blow the coat in the opposite direction of hair growth from time to time to help blow out the loose coat.
4Step FourConsider giving your dog supplements such as virgin olive oil or even better, wild salmon fish capsules with Omega 3 fatty acids. This will help condition the skin properly thereby creating a healthy, shiny coat which will shed less.
5Step FiveMany dogs commonly shed in the spring, during an adolescent coat drop (adult coat coming in, age depends on breed) and when either in season (for females) or during whelping/shortly after whelping. Be sure to pay extra attention to your furminator during those times.
6Step SixIf these steps are not making an immediate impact on your dog’s shedding issue, you will need to look more closely at the quality of the dog food you are feeding. Even if it’s a ‘good food’, it may not be agreeing with your dog.

You would be shocked at the hair from the second coat below that comes up. It reduces shedding by 90%. It is pricey and can be found at Pet Smart, Pet Express, online, etc. I got the medium size and it was $49 but well worth it. I brushed her with the normal brush I bought for her that had bristles on one side and wire on the other. Not much came out.
Then I used the Furminator and I got half a bag full of fur

Fish oil can work…. but you should get a deshedding brush. You can buy it at Petco or the vet but it workd really well! All you have to do is brush at least 3 times a week for 30 minutes or more and I have only seen one or two hairs here and there from our 4 dogs! Works really well!

I feed my dog raw and it has helped minimize her shedding. Email me if you want more info on the raw diet.
The only thing I supplement my dog’s diet with is fish oil and vitamin E capsules. I just buy human-grade fish oil capsules from Costco and pop a pill onto a dish for her to lick up. Pet stores sell salmon oil too, but it’s usually more expensive.
I also use a Furminator (but I only use it during shedding season as she doesn’t shed much anymore) It’s an expensive investment but it’s worth it.

All dogs shed fur – some breeds more than others. The best thing for your dog’s coat is a healthy diet not additives or supplements.
Rather than cooked kibble that is full of inappropriate ingredients for a dog, try raw meat, bones and offal. This will soon result in not only a glossy coat but better skin, breath and much less poop to clean up.
Metabolism and Your Weight
Sit on the dog & vacuum the hair up with a vacuum cleaner’s hose. You’ll have to sit on it, or it won’t let you do it. Then, brush it once a day & make sure it has the vitamins/fish oil in its diet. Some dogs are heavy shedders.
