Have you ever stooped to touch your Labrador Retriever and seen a spark fly or felt a jolt as your fingers made contact with his hair? Although the charge is enough to give you and your dog a shock, it’s not enough to cause damage to you or your animal companion. If static electricity is giving you static, you can eliminate it with some of these ideas.

1. You can help eliminate static buildup on your dog by using cleansing wipes that add moisture to his coat.

2. To help control static when you touch your dog, use an anti-static product in the clothes dryer when you dry your clothes.

3. Try a pet moisturizing spray to help eliminate dry skin as a way to control static buildup.

4. Use a humidifier to add moisture to the air and prevent the buildup of static electricity.

5. Place basins of water throughout the house to add moisture to the air if you don’t have a humidifier.

6. Use an anti-static product on your carpet. Spray it on but be sure to allow it to dry before letting your pooch walk on it.
