Good morning everyone. I hope you all had a great weekend and are ready for the start of a new week.
Right now my puppy Daisy is shedding like crazy. I don't know if she is shedding her puppy coat or if it's just the time of year for shedding. Bella sheds also but nothing like Daisy has been. Her hair is everywhere, on my clothes, in the air, on the furniture and I have even seen Daisy's hair on Bella's back.
I'm not sure how long this lasts but I will be glad when it's over. I have had both long and short hair dogs and I think I would prefer a long hair dog when it comes to shedding. At least with long hair dogs, their hair usually comes out in clumps, not tiny little hairs everywhere.
Is Daisy just shedding her puppy hair? She is 9 months old now and it has been pretty warm here so it could also be the normal shedding that dogs do in the spring. All I know is it is driving me crazy. I have to use the lint brush several times a day.

I don't know about puppy hair, but this is the time for shedding and I know what you are going through. Besides daily brushing and vacuuming, I also takes my girls to my daughter's shop where the loose hair is blown out. It makes a big difference, especially when I also get Ciara shaved down.

@simone10 Penny is short hair and if you have a brush that collects the hair, instead of it going into the air, then all you have to do is clean the brush when it is full. Here is what I use. You can see the wire bristles (and yes, if you can a bristle under your nail, you will know it, ouch!) and this is the kind of brush a groomer uses.

@simone10 Here is the back side of the brush with the name brand on it. Of course your dogs are smaller, so you would get one that is half the size of mine.

@lilnana1111 It probably does. I wish my dogs loved it but they are afraid of the vacuum.

@simone10 Our Lab loves to get vacumed, we can't take the vacume cleaner out without her running up and bugging us till she gets vacumed, it must feel good.

It can also be stress from the move. It had to be done, but the pups do not understand. If I remember correctly Daisy was pretty high strung.

I know it is frustrating when the shed like that, and messy to clean up. Dogs are so worth it though.

Morgan and the cats are shedding here too. Morgan has long wire hair and she sheds both single hairs and clumps. The cats are short hair and they just shed single hairs. I can see the fur fly when I pet them. I'm ready for them all to be done shedding too.

I always thought that animals and their hair are always on our clothes and our furniture.
