:nope: My entire house is full of Izzy's hair :pnot matter how much I clean it the minute that Izzy's walks she sheds everywhere!!!! Is this normal? Am I missing on something here? I got her the furminator and I use every other day, I got her the kong broom brush and when I use it is like snow coming out of her body, white hair flying everywhere. Should I take her to the groomer? I feed her Fromm Beef Fritatta and give her coconut oil for her coat. What else can I do?

She may be blowing her coat, and some bullies do shed more than others. My white bully Mandy sheds quite a bit, her hair is more course feeling than the others. Salmon oil and Nuvet helps, have you tried the salmon oil yet? Coconut oil is great too, but salmon oil will probably work better.

Every canine that sheds has a time of year when they 'blow their coat'... you will see this happen once or twice a year. Keep up with the zoom groom and the furminator - do it outside if possible, but it is normal.

She is allergic to salmon so I had to stop with the oil on her food.

I have noticed Lola is shedding a lot right now and I think it is the time of year and she is getting new hair. I have noticed she has went from soft puppy fur to more course grown up hair so maybe that is what Izzy is doing also!

How old is Lola? Izzy is almost 6 months so maybe is time for her to chance coat too. Will izzy blow her coat even though our weather is pretty much summer all year round?

Lola is 7 months old and its been bad for about 6 weeks so maybe Izzy is doing the same. If she is getting rid of her puppy hair then she will lose it no matter the season.

Meeko's 6months and over the last 3/4 weeks the amount of hair he shed was unbelievable!! He too went from soft puppy to a more tougher coat and his brown splodges went a bit lighter to more of a beige lol. npticing a age pattern here so maybe this is the age they shed their puppy coats x

Miss Tallulah sheds tons of hair constantly. But it was the worst at about 6-7 months. Finally bought a house vacuum system. "An outfit isn't really complete until it has dog hair on it".- has become my mantra.

Not sure how comfortable she would be but my male bully use to let me vaccum them with the hose part and it was like giving him a body massage ect and I notice that the white haired ones I have owned shed more. I also put some "linatone plus" hair & skin revitalizer in their food daily and it made a huge difference. Cost a little bit but when your fighting the daily amounts of hair that you can never catch up on then it is worth the money. Once you stop using this omg you definitely see the massive amounts of hair all over the place again.

Wilson is my shedder. All three of mine have white hair and I find that the white tends to shed more. Wilson goes in cycles. There's times where his fur seems like it's snowing and then like right now, I brush him and barely any comes off. During winter they all get brushed once a week but during Spring, Summer and Fall it's more like 3-4 times a week.

Herman
I'm having this problem with Herman, it happened a few months ago, then it stopped. I remember this was happening when he had demodex (August) I would brush him everyday and that really helped.... And it was just two days ago that I realized I hadnt brushed him in ages LOL So now I'm back to brushing him everyday to see if that will get him back to normal. I find that when I brushed him yesterday and today, it's the hair at the scruff of his neck that's shedding the most.

I've always said the Kong Zoom Groom doesn't help at all - but since I havent brushed him regularly in months (SHAME!) I can see that it does help get all the dead hair out :)

Tank
Tank is a constant shedder, too! The best thing I have found to use along with my Zoom Groom (best item ever) and my Furminator brush for the undercoat, is the Furminator Shedding Solution! I use it after shampooing like a conditioner. I leave it on for 5 minutes, massaging him with the zoom groom and then rinse. It really helps work out the loose hair so that the daily shedding is not at bad. His coat is softer and the amount of hair all over the house is considerably less if I use it every other week.

I bought the big bottle off Amazon. While pricey, it's concentrated so it goes a looooooong time. I bought a condiment squeeze bottle and mix it 1 part solution to 2 parts water.
