Hi all, our 9 m/o boy is shedding like I cannot imagine since the change of seasons. We are in northern NJ and there's been snow on the ground since the New Year, however lately his shedding is on a another level. I use a de-shedding tool called a furminator, not cheap, but worth every penny. I brush him every day, sometimes twice, and remove fist fulls of hair every time. He is an "inside" dog. My breeder said to leave him outside for an entire day and his coat will change and he will shed less. Has anyone heard of this / tried? I understand the thick undercoat of short haired dogs, but I cannot believe he still has any hair left after what I take off of him every day.
No health problems, except somewhat dry skin due to forced hot air in our house, raw fed since birth.
Appreciate any insights/tips. Thanks!
