Anayablue Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Hello.... a few months ago I was posting that our puppy Anaya (who is 11 months now) wasn't really shedding much - well much has changed... PLEASE someone tell me the first shed is the worst. This is insane. I read the shed's last about 2-3 weeks... we are going on about a month.. and it has just started coming out clumpy. I just through out my 5X7 area rug because I gave up trying to vacuum it 3'x a day. I'm grooming her repeatedly throughout the day, 2-3 times... about 20 min. a session but it just keeps coming out. Our backyard looks like a cotton field. Is there some kind of secret to this.. would giving her a bath help.. is there no end to the fur? thanks..

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Bathing can help quicken up the shed by loosening up the fur but only way to get rid is to just keep brushing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chula Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Sorry, I think you're probably just gonna have to get used to it! Giving a bath can help, and using a high velocity dryer can help blow out the hair. We end up vacuuming several times a day, particularly the sofa because every time she stands up, she leaves a little husky outline behind.

Andy Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Al quite normal. It's one of the things that you read, or were told about, that until it happens You really can't understand Just how much fur can come off a Husky. Oh, yeah and. . . . . . . it's twice per year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anayablue Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Hahaha, yes.. I guess I truly never believed it could be this bad... are they all as bad as the first. I read that a puppy will shed it's entire coat before it's adult coat comes in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Yes they can get worse. and when they've finally finished they look sooooooo skinny until it grows back in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyc4t Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 I've learned it's a waste of my time to put my broom/vacuum away. It's not going to get any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 I've learned it's a waste of my time to put my broom/vacuum away. It's not going to get any better. I got rid of carpet and put in laminate flooring so much easier and quicker to keep clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisley&chad Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 I think chad is shedding his puppy coat, too. his back is a lot more coarse than his head / back leg area. and by his back legs there are clumps coming out. it's awful, especially since he has a wooly coat. the new, coarse hair is a lot darker, too. I just spent an hour trying to get some brushing done. barely did any good. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthevanman Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Luna is 11 months and is blowing her first coat as well, its hard to believe I've took 4 carrier bags of fluff off her never mind whats in the garden or the hover The hover has never been used so much, her coat is getting darker or else its just the absence of the white / beige fluff but she now looks 3/4 the size, been asked a lot this week is she sick because she looks thinner lol. hopefully with alll the fluff coming off it'll be more bearable in the hot weather.

Clare70 Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Mine seem to shed all summer, we dont have carpet so have tumbleweed of hair floating about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Like the others said, it only gets worse lol. This year has been by far the worst for me. It seems that they are all shedding at one time or another! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehairdresser Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 my top tip is to get a wire dog brush and use that to brush the carpets instead of vacuuming, it's much more effective and quite satisfying. Also get a throw for the bed if they sleep on there in the day. Khaleesi is blowing her coat for the 2nd time and it's so much worse than her first one...x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazz Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Zoya blew her coat during her first year. She just turned six, and she's not stopped yet. She is still blowing her coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayne n keira Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Hiya I bought a FURMINATOR from amazon absolutely brilliant gets all the underneath fur out straight away took about a week twice a day it's great and it's Keira's first mault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robke Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I always say they shed once a year from 1st of jan to 31st of dec. and yes have not got any carpet where the dogs are the most just laminate flooring... be carefull with a furminator they can damage the fur as well... I use an undercoat rake much more gentle on the fur imo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayne n keira Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Ohhhhhhj I've used it now in what way will it damage ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robke Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 from what i understand is that it can damage the guard hairs.. do not get me wrong there are people that swear by a furminator, mine just hate it and once i used an undercoat rake they were fine...

Jayne n keira Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Ok Robke thank you I've just googled it so many different views lol I think ile leave it alone just in case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anayablue Posted August 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 haha.. thanks for all the replies.. I guess we'll just have to adjust to having hair everywhere. I think the worst is over.. mostly just her hind quarters are left and her tail. I bought a good under belly rake.. seems to work really good.
