If your home feels like it’s constantly covered in fur, you're not alone. Pet shedding is a natural process — but that doesn’t mean it has to take over your clothes, furniture, or sanity. Instead of reacting to the mess, the smarter move is preventing it in the first place.
This guide shows you how to reduce pet shedding at home using a simple, consistent routine — and introduces a complete four-product system from GauGau that works together to tackle fur at every stage.
Whether it’s on your clothes, couch, or car seats, excessive shedding creates endless cleanup.
Why Pets Shed and When It Becomes a Problem
All pets shed, but how much depends on their breed, diet, health, and even the time of year. Dogs like Labradors and Huskies, and cats like Maine Coons, go through seasonal shedding cycles where hair loss increases in spring and fall. However, excessive or sudden shedding can be a sign of stress, poor nutrition, or skin conditions.
Understanding the cause helps you choose the best grooming gloves or brushes to manage the problem effectively.

How to Remove Pet Hair from Car Seats
Vacuum and Wash Pet Bedding Weekly
Your pet’s favorite sleeping spot is a hotspot for shedding. Vacuum it regularly and wash removable covers weekly. Use blankets that are easy to shake out or throw in the wash for quick cleanups.
Nutrition and Hydration Tips for Coat Health
Shedding can be linked to poor nutrition. Make sure your pet is eating high-quality food rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, which support skin and coat health. Always provide clean, fresh water to prevent dryness that leads to flaking and shedding.
Good nutrition helps reduce shedding from the inside out — a perfect complement to your grooming routine.
Tip: Consult your vet before adding supplements to your pet’s diet.
Bathe Your Pet Correctly
Bathing helps reduce shedding when done right. Use a deshedding shampoo and avoid over-bathing, which can dry out your pet’s skin and make shedding worse.
During bath time, wear GauGau™ Grooming Gloves — they’re waterproof and gentle enough for sensitive skin.
