Hi I can completely sympathize with you about the shedding problem, my husky/Shepard sheds all over the place. I don't like the stop shed medications and shampoos at all, I don't feel that it is natural to stop the shedding. Unfortunately this is something we dog lovers just have to put up with. A good vacuum with the cup, not a bag, will get the hair up better, give your pooch lots of brushings outside, and sorry but that's all you can honestly do about it. Just have your vet rule out an allergy, sometimes dogs lose fur due to them, but the hair usually comes out in clumps. Also, if your dog is inside a lot that might cause more shedding because the dogs lose their need to have their thick winter coat if they are warm, so an hour outside playing every day might slow it down. Good luck, i know its a pain, lol.
Brush her daily outside. It will remove most of the hair.
It is pretty normal. If YOU think it is excessive.try a different food. Sometimes poor food quality can cause excessive shedding.
But they do shed TONS! I have Newfies and I can relate. Year 'round tumbleweeds of hair.
probably new winter coat coming in, therefore old coat is shedding..If you brush your dog on a daily basis it will help to keep down the flying hairballs and excessive shedding on furniture.Good Luck!
There is a wonderful product on the market called "Shed Stop". This mixed with daily brushing will definetly help you with the shedding problem.
One word of warning, once you start using it, be sure to continue using it. If you begin, then stop, the begin again; it will still work, but not quite as well.
If it really is becoming a problem, ask a dog groomer to work on her. When I worked as a groomer we did lots of shedding breeds. We used a product called glo-coat to encourage the dog to shed hair, and than used shop blowers to force the hair out at the shop, thus saving the owner a lot of trouble. I wish I could say that you can do this at home, but you need professional shop dryers to do it, and it takes a certain technique. Also, if the groomer asks you if you want a rake clip (there are lots of words for it, but basically using clippers with a rake to shorten the dogs hair) say no, it will actually soften the coat and increase shedding.
ok they have books especially for that but if i were you i would grab your dog get a wet wash cloth and wipe her down every day or so also it might be that her/his food sucks and has poor nutrition and could be affecting her/his coat .umm you could get one of thoes cat hair removers and use that for your pet it works if you do it to him/her day after day or you could just get one of thoes vac.s that suck all of the shedding hair off of your pet.
There's a dog brush you can buy. It will get the loose fur from under her coat, because that is the only reason why she would shed. I have it for my long haired chiwahwa and it works great.
She is loosing her summer coat and getting a winter one. Brush her daily. Brush with the fur and then brush against the fur to get the undercoat. It is time consuming but necessary. And keep the vacuum handy too.
Good luck
Well the only thing I could recommend would be a shed reducing product called shed x. its a liquid that you place in its food that can reduce the shedding of your dog by 80%. also with weekly baths and daily brushing your dogs shedding should reduce somewhat.
