1. 81.00% of Dog Owners are "Concerned" About Shedding During Molting Season
When 200 adult men and women who own dogs were asked, "Are you concerned about shedding during molting season?", the most common answer was "Somewhat concerned" with 93 people (46.50%).
Next, "Very concerned" followed with 69 people (34.50%), totaling 162 people (81.00%) who answered "Concerned".
It is clear that shedding during molting season has become a "seasonal concern" in many households.

2. Most Difficult Part of Molting Season is "Cleaning Rooms and Furniture"
When asked "What is the most difficult part of molting season?" by 162 respondents who answered "Very concerned" or "Somewhat concerned," the most common answer was "Cleaning rooms and furniture" with 65 people (40.12%).
This was followed by "Adherence to clothing" with 53 people (32.72%), and "Time and effort required for brushing" with 29 people (17.90%).
It is evident that the impact on daily life (cleaning, clothing) is a greater burden than the shedding itself.

- Adherence to clothing: 53 people (32.72%)

This was followed by "Frequent shampooing/trimming" with 60 people (37.04%), and "Use of air purifiers" with 44 people (27.16%).
It is clear that countermeasures combining "care to remove hair from the body (brushing, etc.)" as a core, with "measures to prevent it from spreading indoors (air purifiers, clothing, etc.)" are being adopted by a certain number of people.
