You’re Not Alone

If you own a double-coated dog — Golden Retriever, Labrador, German Shepherd, Husky — you know the reality: fur on the couch, on your black clothes, in your morning coffee. It’s the price of unconditional love.

But there are simple habits that drastically reduce the amount of hair in your home. Here are the 5 that actually work.

1. Brush Your Dog Regularly (The #1 Solution)

This is by far the most effective tip. A 10-minute brushing session, 3 times a week, removes dead undercoat before it ends up on your furniture.

The common mistake: using a brush that only glides over the surface coat. For real results, you need a brush that reaches the undercoat without damaging the fur.

The Purecoat™ Brush is designed exactly for this: rounded tips gently remove dead undercoat without scratching the skin. Compatible with all double-coated breeds.

2. Get a Good Hair Removal Glove

For hair already on your furniture and clothes, a grooming glove is far more practical than a lint roller (which runs out in 30 seconds).

The EverGlove™ removes pet hair from fabrics in a single pass. Infinitely reusable, it replaces dozens of lint rollers.

3. Watch Their Diet

A dog shedding excessively might have a nutritional deficiency. Make sure their food contains:

  • Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids — for a shiny coat and healthy skin
  • Quality proteins — the foundation of strong fur
  • Zinc and biotin — essential for coat health

If shedding is sudden or excessive, consult your vet.

4. Protect Your Furniture Strategically

Rather than fighting hair after the fact:

  • Place a washable blanket on your dog’s favorite couch spot.
  • Choose hair-resistant fabrics (leather, tightly woven microfiber) for your cushions.
  • Keep a brush nearby for a quick session during cuddle time.

5. Adopt the Right Bathing Routine

A bath every 4 to 6 weeks helps loosen dead undercoat. Use a gentle dog shampoo and brush before the bath to detangle, then after drying to remove everything that’s left.

⚠️ Don’t bathe too often — it dries out the skin and can actually increase shedding.

The Winning Combination

For a truly clean home with a happy dog, the best strategy combines regular brushing + a glove for surfaces. That’s exactly what the Nuvopet Dog Dad Kit offers: the Purecoat™ Brush + EverGlove™ in one bundle.
