When choosing a dog for a companion and/or an addition to your family, consider the breed and its maintenance. Some dogs need more activity then others, some require more grooming and some get quite big. You need to be prepared for how often to brush the dogs coat, how much time and space they need to healthily stay active. You need to know how often they need to be groomed, if it’d doable at home, what brushes to use. Be prepared. imagine bringing a dog home and not knowing how big they get, and not keeping them once they get too big, the dog feels like they have done something wrong when you weren’t the one prepared.

Depending on your dog’s coat type, you may need to brush your dog every day or only once a month! There are several types of brushes:
· Bristle Brush – This brush is good for all coat types, but a brush with more widely spaced and longer bristles should be used on dogs with a longer coat. Coarser hair may require stiffer bristles.
· Wire-Pin Brush – This type of brush is good for curly, woolly coats that range in length from medium to long.
· Slicker Brush - Made with fine wire bristles, a slicker brush is useful for removing mats and tangles.
· Combs - Rubber curry combs massage your dog’s skin and help to remove dead hair from short-haired dogs.
TRY CHECKING OUT A SHEDDING TOOL FOR GETTING DEAD HAIR FROM YOUR DOGS COAT. Shedding tools can come in the form of a brush with closely-spaced, stainless steel tines that work on removing the undercoat.
A dog who eats a complete and balanced diet will take in the vitamins and nutrients he needs to keep his hair follicles growing strong and resilient from breakage. Be cautious of what you're feeding your dog, especially if you notice excessive shedding/itchiness.
Keep an eye on their water intake, dehydrated skin is a major cause of hair loss and can increase the amount of loose fur you have to clean up around your home. Normally a dog should intake about 1 ounce of water per pound of their weight.
