    My vet has told me that there really is no way to reduce shedding despite all the products on the market that make claims that they do. He said don't waste your money. Instead, invest in a good dog brush suitable for the length of hair of your dog and use it daily until the shedding season is over.

    For a Rottweiler you should use a short toothed brush if not a rubber brush that you rub over the dogs hair to lift out the dead hairs only, do not use a slicker brush as it might cut his skin because the hair is so short.

    Letting a dog go in the water will also help to loosen the hair and make it float off.
