Subject: My dog is shedding everywhere - Help?

My dog has become an inside dog and I'm starting to remember why I used to keep her out - she is getting hair everywhere she goes. She is a lab mix. I have been brushing her, just gave her a bath and toweled her off but the hair is coming out in tufts!

Just wondering if any COJ pet owners have tried any great product on the market to help with shedding or if there is something else I can do to help her get rid of all this loose hair.

FURMINATOR Buy it. It'll change your life. We take our lab outside 2x a week with it and that's ~4lbs of hair that's outside and not inside in my vaccuum. Definitely worth it.

Otherwise, no, nothing really.

x3! We have two large, shedding dogs at our house and the furminator makes such a difference.  Just be warned - you will be shocked at the amount of hair that it will take off your dog (and wonder how s/he is not bald).

It sounds like you own my (2 years deceased) dog.  He was a beautiful dog--shepherd/lab mix, but left tumbleweed in the house.  I would pull out the tufts whenever I saw them ready to explode off of him.  He eventually got used to it.

But, yes.  Definitely get a furminator.  (and check on ebay.  They're much cheaper there than in the stores.)

Pffft.  My lab's coat laughs at the furminator.  I could do it every day and still have hair everywhere.

x1000 on the Furminator.  I stood in line at PetsMart thinking how stupid I was to spend so much on a dog brush, but it will change your life!

We have a Furminator, but I don't get that much fur at one time in the summer.  In the fall and especially the spring, when Jazz is blowing a lot of coat at once, it helps A LOT.  This summer he just seems to shed constantly whether I Furminate or not.

With four cats and two dogs (one german shepherd mix and one akita cross...think pouftery fluffy dogs who blow coats) in the house, our furminator really doesn't stand a chance, either.

I pretty much just deal with cat hair in the quinoa (to quote someone in another thread).

Oh my, I'd never keep up with that much fur! Another problem we have is my vacuum stinks at picking up pet hair so when I sit on the carpet to do my PT exercises I see the hair everywhere.

furminator is great for my lab mix, retriever mix, and cat. we got a dyson vacuum about 5 months ago and using it once or twice a week keeps all of the hair up completely as well as lots of dirt. I would highly recommend one. I was doubtful of them at first but...it has been wonderful so far!

Exactly.

If you are strapped for the time/effort you can also take them to a place like Petsmart to get groomed...I swear their shed-less shampoo or potentially their patience when furminating REALLY helps.

We have a schnabrador (black lab, giant schnauzer). He's got the dense lab coat under a wire over coat. While this makes him look super cute, it means there's little mini Walters under all of my furniture (stupid hardwood floors!). I sweep about twice a week, maybe more in the coat blowing seasons. But he also goes to the groomer and they really brush him out and clean him up a little more than once a month. The $25+tip to have someone else deal with his fussing and the cleanup is TOTALLY worth it.
