You can take some preventative steps to lessen and regulate your pet's shedding before you start cleaning up their hair.
Regular brushing will remove excess loose hair in a regulated way; you can do it daily or every three days, depending on your dog's breed, which makes it easy for you to pick them up before they spread around the house. Your dog's hair follicles will remain active and vibrant if you brush them regularly.
Eliminating fleas and allergies will prevent your pet from rubbing its skin raw. Making sure they receive frequent treatment with a top-notch flea and tick treatment is important because scratching can influence the amount of hair they lose. Take your pet to the veterinarian for a checkup if you notice that their skin appears sore or that they are scratching it frequently.
A weekly (or biweekly, depending on the breed) oatmeal shampoo bath will keep your dog's coat strong, lustrous, and healthy, which can help cut down on the amount of hair they shed as well. Dogs shed to eliminate dry, damaged, and dead hair; maintaining a healthy coat should reduce shedding. Here is a tutorial on how to bathe and groom your dog.
