We all love our pets, but we may not be as fond of the shedding that comes along with our adorable fur family members. There are two times a year that dogs shed their coats the heaviest and we’re quickly approaching the first round. According to Statista, over 63 million households in the United States own at least one dog. That calculates to…a whole lot of shedding. Will you be prepared?

Most dog breeds develop a heavier coat over winter to protect them from the colder climate. When that cold climate dissipates, so does your dogs winter coat. Where does it go? Inside your house. Although shedding in general happens to most dogs, the amount of shedding will vary depending on dog size and breed. This winter coat consists of hair, follicles, and dander which can cause odor and the release of allergens. While your precious pet is becoming more comfortable for the warmer weather, you might be left sneezing with a mess on your hands.

Clearly, this is part of owning a lovable companion, and they can’t help their shedding but Winix can!
