burried in dog hair HELP

Yes on the Furminator, and there is one for every size of dog. To cut down on shedding (won't eliminate it completely), brush often. Very often.

Sign of a happy family.
You can brush them, use a roller on your clothes and vacuum a lot.
At some point you just have to accept some dog hair.
I do not apologize for it.

The furminator also does a good job removing dried mud (and “organic” fertilizer:E) from our dogs’ fur reducing the dust levels in the house.

I'm another vote for the Furminator. My Cattle Dog shed copious amounts of fur 365 days/yr. Regular combing with the Furminator comb helped immensely (and I would put the balls of removed fur in our pine tree - every baby bird in the neighborhood had a nice fur-lined nest....LOL!)

+1 for the FURMINATOR! Brushing Molly each morning has virtually eliminated the fine hairs piling up in the corners of our home.



Purchase at Amazon for ~$25.

Have you tried any of the de-shedding tools? We use a Furminator and with regular brushing it removes enough fur that the shedding is decreased dramatically.

I have never seen so much dog hair in all my life.

Come visit our house then you won’t feel so bad. Please don’t look in the corners of the mud room until after the daily vacuuming is done.

If all you can stuff is a small pillow in a month you don't have a problem. The Collies could do that in a week. I just vacuum once a week. Furniture I always purchase real leather that dog hair doesn't stick to. I consider it a small price to pay for the companionship.

Do those Dog Grooming/Deshedding Gloves work?
I think my Chihuahua turns into an Irish Wolfhound at night.

Dog hair is a condiment around our house :)

Seriously, shedding is normal to a degree in most breeds. What breed of dog do you have and how old? What diet? Any patchy areas of hair loss? Any itching or scratching? Are your grooming and bathing him/her regularly, if so what do you use?

Once you have eliminated disease or medical conditions, dietary changes or supplements may be beneficial.

You are going to get a lot of personal experience advice and suggestions here, many probably will help. I'd suggest the next time you have a vet appointment, bring up the issue and get some suggestions.
