If you share your home with a dog who sheds like it’s their part-time job, you’re not alone. Some pups come with a little extra fluff… and some seem determined to coat your entire house in it. The good news? With the right tools and a solid grooming routine, even the heaviest shedders can be kept under control.
Here are five breeds known for their generous shedding, and how to keep their coats (and your home!) looking pawfect.
1. Golden Retriever
Golden Retrievers are famous for their sunshine personalities, and their year-round shedding. Their luxurious double coat releases loose undercoat in steady waves, with spring and autumn bringing even bigger coat “blowouts.” Regular brushing and weekly upkeep sessions with the Refuresh Deshedding brush keeps Goldies comfortable and help reduce those golden tumbleweeds around the house.
2. Great Pyrenees
If there were a trophy for the most impressive pile of shed fur, the Great Pyrenees would be a top contender. Their beautiful thick, woolly undercoat sheds constantly, with seasonal shedding bringing out handfuls of fluffy white clouds. Staying ahead of the loose undercoat, especially around the neck, is key to keeping your Pyr’s coat healthy and your home neat and tidy.
3. Siberian Husky
Siberian Huskies are legendary shedders. Their dense, weather-proof double coat is designed for cold temperatures, which means they shed dramatically whenever the weather warms up. During coat-blowing season, it’s completely normal to fill a brush (or two) in one sitting. Consistent brushing and deshedding help prevent matting and keep their coat breathable all year around.
4. German Shepherd
German Shepherds, often referred to as “German Shedders,” are loyal companions. They also have a thick undercoat that sheds steadily, all year long. Regular deshedding is essential to manage loose fur, support skin health, and keep their coat smooth. With the Refuresh Deshedding brush, you can dramatically cut down on the amount of fur that ends up on your floors, couch, and clothes!
5. Beagle
Although their coat is shorter, Beagles shed more than you would expect! They have a dense double coat that releases small hairs constantly, and those little hairs love to cling to fabric. Weekly deshedding helps lift out the loose undercoat and keeps their coat shiny, soft, and smelling fresh.
Want to manage shedding like a pro?
Remember that shedding is totally normal! It’s your dog’s natural way of keeping their coat healthy. The secret is simply keeping up with it. A quick, weekly session with the Refuresh Deshedding brush removes loose undercoat before it lands on your furniture, while regular brushing helps distribute natural oils and keeps your pup’s coat glowing.
No matter which breed you have at home, a consistent routine makes shedding easier to manage, and keeps your furry friend happy, comfy, and looking their best.
