How to stop my Great Pyrenese dog from shedding all over the place!!!?

Question

Ok, first off I know this breed sheds alot but I vacum and vacum and everyday I am constantly cleaning her dog hair off of furniture, carpet and little flying hairballs everywhere! Please help if there is anything i can do to help this? It seems a little more shedding than usual to me. Thanks...

Answer 1

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.

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.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

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!

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

long hair is nice but requires maintenance and u have to grow that out for a long time

Answer 8

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

Answer 9

It's all simply a matter of personal preference. We have short hair and guys just like it. And i prefer a guy with short hair over a person with long hair because long hair tends to make guys look as well girly.

Answer 10

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.
