You can either get him groomed once a week or if you have the time you can groom him yourself, by bathing him and brushing him. I also have a dog that sheds but the more you maintain it the less of a problem it is
Sorry but the only way is regular grooming. Brush him everyday during shedding season. Brushing is just part of having a long haired dog next time go with a different breed.
Like Aussiemom said - brush brush brush. Twice a day is usually adequate. Time consuming, but still easier to get all the excess hair that way than to clean it up from everywhere in your home.
Yes,is called "blowing their coat".I used to save the fur in a paper sack and in the spring put it out for the birds.They love it to line their nests.Buy a special comb that will get down to the under-hairs.That fine stuff/fluffy.Brush,brush and brush some more.I have had better luck using a curry comb type rather than a brush.Part the hair and get down near the skin.
Brush every day. My Saint has this problem and so I only get dressed as I am leaving so he doesn't have chance to brush up against me. If you keep on top of it it won't get too bad.
The best way I have found is to feed them pork fat. They love it, lick it up like a candy bar.Remember they are not humans and need some things we don't eat.I fed our labs one tablespoon a day and that was enough to keep their coats beautiful.
We bought the Furminator for my German Shepherd and it has REALLY reduced his shedding. It's a grooming tool that removes the dead undercoat.You can also try the supplement Brewer's Yeast. It can be purchased at most pet supply stores. Be sure to buy a lint roller and use it on your clothes before you leave for work. Also, make sure you are feeding a high quality food. I hope this helps!
go to petco and get an undercoat rake if you want, but it will be messy. Your best bet would be to have him professionally groomed. It may be a little expensive but it would also be worth it to get all of that undercoat out. Also a groomer will have access to an industrial blow dryer which is very forceful and will blow out a lot of the hair before the actual grooming part. I do this all the time. None of my clients are willing to do this kind of job themselves. Its messy and time consuming. Make a grooming appt. good luck
I know they say Mals only blow their coat twice a year but to be correct they shed from Jan - June and from July to December!! (which is twice a year )If you show your dog at shows, do not use a furminator. Yes bathing your dog loosens the hair and if you use a blower you get rid of more hair. DO NOT BATH YOUR DOG TWICE A WEEK. This is NOT good at all. Only bath your dog when it is filthy!!! or once in 6 months.Brush your dog daily that is the only advice there is and simply live with the hair. If you cannot live with the hair, do not own a Mally.
