Amazon Is Selling Dog Onesies That Protect Your House From Shedding And Helps Reduce Their Anxiety

ADVERTISEMENT

There are a million benefits to owning a dog; companionship, exercise, fun and cuddles, just to name a few. Compared to these puppy pros there are far fewer canine cons; however one of them would have to be the hair. For certain breeds at least shedding can turn your once spotless house into a festival of fur, for which the tidy up just never ends.

Fear not, dog owners, the Shed Defender is here and it promises to solve that particular problem, and a host of others, all the while upping your puppy’s cuteness quota to levels you never thought possible!

The Shed Defender is essentially a onesie for your dog. “The patent pending Shed Defender is a onesie that contains the dog’s hair within the suit to reduce the shedding, perfect for in the house, car, or anywhere you don’t want to leave a trail of hair!” reads the description on Amazon.

“It helps to reduce anxiety – the snug fit and gentle pressure gives the dog a calming effect.”

“It can replace the medical cone – covering hot spots, post surgery, preventing scratching and itching, protecting and alleviating allergies and skin conditions.”

The cozy onesie also protect your dog from ticks in the summer, keeps them warm and toasty in the snowy winters, and allows them to roll in the mud without causing too much of a fuss. What more could you ask for?

Available in a range of sizes for all breeds, the Shed Defender retails at around £45 (around $55) and has proven so popular that they are rather difficult to find at the moment! But if you can get your hands on one, your doggy is sure to appreciate it, and you might just find your cleaning time cut in half. Truly a win-win!

Most people and their dogs loved the onesie

While other people were unhappy about the quality of the product as well as their dogs’ reactions to it

Some reviews were glowing in their praise for the product, with the primary purpose of reducing shedding seemingly working a treat. It seems that not all dogs were entirely happy about the situation though. If your dog doesn’t take to the onesie, best not to force them to wear it. It’s also important to check with the vet first. What’s more important, a few hairs or your dog’s happiness?

You can buy the onesie in various sizes on Amazon

If you don't want your dog shedding all over the house - don't get a dog. If you brush them regularly and, shock, use a vacuum cleaner regularly it's hardly a big deal. Dogs aren't meant to wear clothing - they come with their own fur coat. The thundercoats for calming, didn't work on my dog but it probably does on some and anything for medical benefits, fine! Otherwise, let your dog be natural!!

It's laziness - most people don't realise how often a dog should be brushed. To dress them purely to stop shedding in your home? These are people who really don't deserve a doggo.

The owners who have problems with their pets shedding should not own a pet then. I agree with that -thing- (onesie/jumpsuit/weird-looking-second-skin, you name it) being helpful after surgeries, with allergies and any other medical conditions, but just to prevent the dog from shedding? Sheesh. No matter how good the material is, it will limit the ability of the dog's skin to breathe. If your dog sheds, it means you should brush him/her more and invest in some deshedding tools instead of this. That's my opinion. I can't even cope putting my mainecoon in such clothing, just cause they shed enormously. I don't know, I find it a lack of respect towards them :D

My dog just stopped moving when we tried a thundercoat, wouldn't move. Freezing is not a happy reaction.
