This isn’t exactly a Ridecamp question, but since so
many of you also own dogs, I wondered if you might have a solution for me.
We acquired our first dog a couple of years ago.I never had one as a child, so the poor
dog is more like a guinea pig in some respects. We quickly learned that dogs shed
copiously in the spring AND in the fall, and during those seasons I vacuum at
least once a day. Maggie is medium
haired – length and density wise, I think of Labs and Shepherds.She was spayed when she was
approximately 6 months old.This
spring she started shedding and hasn’t stopped.She is shedding copious amounts of hair,
and no amount of brushing, using a doggie shed blade, etc., seems to help.I’m very tired of vacuuming, and
ready to invest in a BIG bottle of Nair.:o(
We keep thinking she’ll be bald soon, but there are no
bald patches and her coat is soft and shiny.Last year we started adding 1 measuring
teaspoon of bacon grease to her food to help with a dry skin problem, but it
doesn’t seem to do much for shedding. I noticed that PetSmart sells a variety
of products geared toward dealing with this problem, but before I plunk down my
money, I thought I’d seek out RC advice.Suggestions, please?!
