Miss Abby is shedding so much I could make Bella and Chloe a coat for winter. Is there some kind of supplement I could give her or something that would help? By the way she is eating Nutro dog food |

Cute dog! She looks just like my Abby...and mine is shedding A LOT too. What I've been doing is keeping a roll of duct tape close by and using that to pick up the hair off my clothes and furniture. Also, after I give her a bath it seems to loosen up the hair for some reason so I bring her outside and comb her quite a bit. |

Maybe try combing her more often and get most of the falling hair off so she doesn't shed as much on the furniture.
BTW, what Nutro type do you feed? (like chicken/rice, ect.) |

| I also suggest a Dyson vacuum cleaner. Amos is the sheddingest dog I've ever had. |

Try adding a high quality fish oil, it really cuts down on the shedding.
Erin, I LOVE Natures Miracle. It gets rid of any and all stains and smells. For odors you just soak the spot and let it air dry. I live on the stuff for doggie and people messes. |

Emptying the vacuum cannister is one of hubby's chores. He cannot believe that he can empty it, I vacuum and it's full after one use. BTW, I vacuum everyday.

Well, I use the Zoom Groom brush (by Kong) for Murphy, and it does a good job of getting the lose hair out, and it's easy to clean. The problem is that NO MATTER HOW LONG I BRUSH HIM, he still sheds. But it helps to brush him, and since the high temp is now averaging in the mid-90's every day here in TX, he's shedding A LOT. |
