How can I keep my furniture and vinyl floors free from dog hair? My dogs shed horribly!?

My dogs shed horribly. I sweep my floors several times per day and it never seems to end. My furniture is full of hair. I have even invested in a jumbo lint roller, but that is't even helping!!!!

There is this great under-coat rake call the "shed ender" and it works really well. We use it on our cat and our dogs. You can buy it off of ebay or maybe there is even a shed ender site.



Good luck!

I dont know what kind of dog you have but I have a golden retriever and I know what you mean, butif you get what is called a "rake" undercoat brush that will help getting exsess hair off your dog. I use it and it helps alot, you will never get it all if you alow the dog free rain of teh house but it helps alot, make sure you use it every day!!!!

Sorry...your dog is a shedder and the only way you will be able to stop it is to find him a new home. Awww...hopefully that is not an option! :)



Fortunately, there are some things you can try to help ease the situation. Keep your dog well-groomed. Brush him daily and bathe him on a regular basis. Try adding omega fatty acids to his food to keep his coat and skin healthy.

First off, how old is your dog?



Next just some information:



Most dogs shed. Sometimes, it will never be cured. The only thing you can do is comb them, using a really fine comb, maybe even a flea comb. You can find tons of types at the pet stores. You will need to get out all the loose fur this way.



You can also use some great shampoo's you can get from the vet's. You can call them up to see what they recommend.



Next, You must also consider, food allergies, thyroid issues, and fleas.



These things can cause many fur and skin problems.



The only real way to figure it out is to get an exam at the vet's.



If not, this problem will continue and only thing you can do is clean and comb.

A good coat of varnish on the dog should do the job!

You know, I have a few tricks for you. . . .first, I cover my furniture when no guests are around, with throws that I can remove and wash. I also use slipcovers.



Also, invest in an inexpensive little Dirt Devil hand-held vac. It is GREAT. I have one upstairs for bathroom floors, and one downstairs for the kitchen, etc. I use a large vacuum too on my hardwood floors - the broom just picks up static and moves the hair around.



Brushing your dogs daily will also help some.



I have 3 large dogs (one long haired and another who sheds a LOT), and two cats. . . I have learned to ignore it. I don't clean it every day . . . life is too short. I don't let it make me crazy. . . But I don't let it get too out of control either, because then it's hard to clean up.



I don't wear dark clothes in the house. I change before I leave the house, even to run to the store - don't want fur on the clothes to scare people. LOL



Try to relax about it a bit. The dogs are worth it! To be without them would be worse. Get a Dirt Devil hand vac!!

Dogs shed by nature you can't stop it but you can reduce it by having a good quality shampoo/conditioner and proper grooming and often, very often if need be with a proper brush/rake.



Depending on the breed of the dog, if it's not known as being a shedder have it checked by the vet..it may have some underlying health issues causing to shed excessively.



You may also consider training your dog not to go on the furniture or use throw blankets on the furniture to be able to wash them easily... overstock.com has some nice ones..I just bought 24 fleece throws for $100.



Or get a good vaccum.

I wish I knew what kind of dogs, since then I could make grooming suggestions. I have three dogs, a Great Pyrenees, a brindle lab-Akita cross and a Jack Russell terrier. We have hair, too! I just got a micro-fiber mop head. I have several of the cloths for the mop, so I can use it wet or dry and then wash the cloth in the machine.



For the dogs themselves: for the Pyrenees, I use a wire slicker brush, for the lab cross I use a metal comb,for the terrier %26lt;flat coat%26gt; I use a rubber curry type comb. It works well on the lab cross too.

while there are several good products out there to help with shedding, shedding can occur for a number of reasons.(1.) Poor diet.(2.) skin allergies or irritations as dry skin. I could go on, but the list is very long. Usually these two problems are the more common ones. give your vet a call(doesn't cost to call) and ask his opinion. Also if you bath your dog to often that can also lead to dry skin and shedding. I hope this has been helpful. good luck!

Give it up. Dogs shed.

The type of dog you have can determine what steps you can take to lessen shedding. For all dogs: DIET can play a role in excessive shedding. Your dog may need a different brand of dog food AND some supplements. I have a Golden mix that used to be a big shedder until I got her on the right food for her and added some Supplements. She takes NutraVed and 3V Skin Caps from the Vet. The 3V has Omega three, Vit A, D and E.



Add to that brushing your dog regularly with the right brush for the breed.



Some dogs need a shedding blade especially in Spring and Summer.
