Does anyone have a great solution on how to manage the shedding? I was thinking on getting a grooming rake to help with the dead hair. I know it would help them out and make them feel better. |

| Get a grooming mitt! There is a soft side and a rubber side that really gets the loose hair out. My doggies love me to mitt them. |

I have a pet hair remover and it fits in your hand, but it is by a brand called Bamboo. I SWEAR DO NOT GET IT! I think it would be meant for thicker coated dogs. NOT RATTIES! I have one, and it BARELY picks up the loose fur on Daisy! It dosen't work!
But I might get a mitt for her! That's a great idea!  I should get one of those! |

Emma and Indie don't shed as much as Apollo does. So I just use a regular dog brush on them. But for Apollo I use a grooming mit/glove. He doesn't shed much except for this time of year though.  |

| Mine don't usually shed badly but when they are blowing coat (seasonal hair loss) I get moist dog bath towelettes and rub them down then I have a soft bristle brush that I brush them with. The wet makes the hair stick to the brush and they love the brush too! |
