My short-haired dog sheds constantly. How can I reduce it effectively?

Question

Is there anythig I can do to reduce the amount of shedding my dog does? He is a mixed hound breed, fine short hair. Sheds constantly. No known allergies. I’ve tried different foods. He is on grain free always. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 3 years and 2 months old | 40 lbs

You will never completely eliminate shedding but you can sometimes reduce it. Sometimes it is just the dog and there isn't much that can be done. I suggest the following: 1. Daily brushing - important as it stimulates the normal oils in the skin to keep the coat healthy. 2. Omega fatty acid supplement - add this supplement to his diet to see if it helps. You need to give this a good 2 months of use before determining whether or not it's helping. It is not something that will help in just a few days so keep that in mind.
