Is there ANYTHING to do to get rid of dog
hair? I mean I have two small dogs (one
black one grey) and my black dog sheds
like CRAZY 
and his hair gets on everything. I just
dont want my baby stuff covered in dog
hair, is there anything I can do? Im
pretty desperate (minus getting rid of
them lol) Thanks girls

Wax them. Kidding.
If you mix a little bit of canola oil in
your dogs' food it should help reduce
shedding. We did this with my yellow lab
and it worked wonders! Good luck

we have like, literally, 10 lint rollers
around the house becuase our two dogs and
cat SHED like crazy.
But one good thing u can do, is bathe
them, then groom them really well with a
wire-haired grooming brush. If u do that
twice a week, u will notice a LOT less
hair.

We use lint rollers like Sandy said, &
sometimes to get the hair of the couch I
just wet a washcloth & wipe it down
that way. I've never heard of using canola
oil, that doesn't make them have diahrea
(sp) though?

Keep up on general cleaning, and vacuum
lots! I've got 2 dogs also, and I wish
they were they came with the no shed
option.

talk to your vet about an allergin pill to
help control the shedding
ytheres a pill you can buy from the vets
office that helps reduce the shedding
problem and also makes thier skin
healthier

Nope, no diarrhea. We did it for a couple
of years. He had solid poops. The vet
recommended it to us and we tried it. It
was great. And it made his coat shiny.

keeping up with daily grooming helps too
reduce the amount of shedding as well as a
good dog food

You're bound to get a hair or 2 on them
when they start to crawl and play on the
floor. But the more you keep up on dog
hair removal, the less you'll have to
worry about it. I've been tempted to shave
my dogs  :LOL:

be careful witht this
your dogs are much smaller than a lab so
you wouldnt want to give them something
that could cause them to get sick

get better dog food or get a supplement
for their skin. i forget what it's
called. i'll look through zandi and
vlad's things later to see if i still have
the bottle. the better their nutrition
the less they shed. but since i had two
amstaffs (pits) i really didn't have to
worry about too much shedding.

Ya, I've heard of fish oil (cod liver oil)
and also I have heard of putting a little
bit of bacon grease in their food.

I was talking to Shane about the canola
oil lastnight & he said he thinks even
something like the oil in the tuna fish
cans does the same thing? Is that true?

I'm guessing that anything oily would
probably do, but as along as they are
healthy oils. I wonder if you can use the
same on a cat because my dog doesn't shed
to much but my cat is another story....
