Despite their short fur, they still shed throughout the year. Some Pitbulls shed more than others, but no matter what they will shed to some degree and leave you with some loose hair lying around your home. Don’t worry though, regular grooming reduces shedding and keeps your pup’s coat healthy. The Pitbull’s short, 1 layered hair doesn’t give them much protection during grooming so it’s important you choose a brush that’s gentle for your pup. You don’t want anything too harsh that’s going to scratch their skin. Correct Brush Size Since your Pitbull has short, single-layer hair, they don’t need an undercoat rake or a tough de-shedding tool. Instead bristle brushes, rubber brushes, curry combs, and grooming gloves are far better suited to their coat. These tools have shorter bristles or raised nubs to gently groom your dog’s short coat.
