Shedding problems inside dog

Recommended Posts

I am looking for help as our 11 month old Lab is in jeopardy

with the wife. He has always shed some but lately we are finding that it has gotten worse. He is healthy and he doesn't lose any big clumps, just a constant cleanup on the floors etc.

Are there cycles that dogs go through or will this likely continue ? We brush him regulary and this helps for a day or so.

Has anyone tried the No Shed suppliments ? Any truth to the sales claims ?

Actually, the dog is probably safe but I might be sleeping outside for bringing him home unless I figure something out !

I have the furminator for my 2 labs and it works great. You will fill up bag after bag of hair to start but after a while it will be done. I found the brush on [YouNeedAuthorization] for alot cheaper than at any store. I recommend the yellow one for labs.

I will be buying a Furminator also and have heard they work great. They are a little spendy, but probably not much more than the other couple brushes combined that we have so far purchased. My 11 month old black lab is shedding also right now. We vacuum every other day if not more and have been brushing him every day, and we seem to get more hair each time.

I have 2 friends that have taught their labsw to love being vaccumed. One had to do this in order to keep his dog in the house. They run the vaccuum over him once a day to remove loose hair and directly into the vaccuum. Works flawlessly! Use patience and work the routine in slowly over a couple weeks. Use a lot of positive re-inforcement and make it a 'fun' thing for the dog.... thye will literally come running when they hear the vaccuum fire up so they can get their daily dose of attention.

Good Luck!

I tried to say where you could get the real furminator for much cheaper in an earlier post but i guess i cant use the name but if you go to a internet auction site, you can find some for about half the price or so.

Thanks for all the suggestions and I will try the Furminator this weekend. The vacuum thing is a no go for my pup as he hides as soon as it comes out !! We used a different tool to brush him last weekend (3 times) and it made a real difference, so it has to be excess hair that can be reduced. Bottom line is that Mom is happier and both my pup and I can rest easier !!

My lab will be one year next Tuesday and has been scared of the vacuum his whole life, until the past couple weeks. He now gets right up to it and sniffs it. I just use lots of positive reinforcement and talk to him while I use it.

That would be the easy way to get the hair off a dog though.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
