Andisa Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) Oh Pandii - good luck. Suck him up with the vacuum... If you lived closer I would say bring him over here and we could both get stuck in to him together. Hydrobath and powerful drier makes it much easier. I find a rubber kong zoom groom when in the bath helps heaps - really pulls the dead coat out - wash / dry well and go for it with a furminator. When really blowing coat just keep grooming... I feel your pain, Piper is blowing coat now and so is Lizzy - luckily for me Pink isn't. I don't wash my dogs all that much but while they are blowing coat they are in the bath every week until I get on top of them.

Guest Pandii Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 He seems to blow coat about 4 times a year, or when the weather changes I bath him but that seems to leave more hair, should I blow dry him more than I am?? I will have to get a new brush, mine got a bit chewed So when he is blowing coat I groom every day for how long?? Dante is great with hers, a brush once a week and shes great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisygirl Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Get the Kong Zoom Groom. We only just got it recently after Jack was shedding so much and it really gets the hair out. Fuchsia has something weird going on and loosing coat like crazy and it certainly helps. Need to brush daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms James Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 As a BC owner, I can only sympathise with you and say that the person who invents a vacuum brush attachment for grooming dogs is going to be very rich indeed! At least we don't have sibes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pandii Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I'd die with a sibe, no one told me how much a pei shed, everytime he shakes i get a fur cloud, I have had other dog owners look in disbeliefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indigirl Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Get a dog dryer and blow the old coat out after a bath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pandii Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I use the dyer at the DIY dog bath, should I get a dryer and do him at home, would a human dryer work??? I swear I coul make another dog out of his fur each day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I have a Labrador... and I can sympathise... *grin* I have snowdrifts in my house at the moment - clean them up, they are back the next day. I've tried stripping brushes, etc... not much really seems to put a dent in the Summer coat drop... *sigh* T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms James Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Peis never struck me as hardcore shedders! Just think of it as little drops of love around your house I was lazy and didn't groom Rove for the last couple of weeks. I just did him this morning and it was like black snow had fallen in my garden I was absolutely covered! I find the water pressure in a hydrobath gets rid of a lot of dead fur after you've given them a good brush, too. During coat drop season it may be easier to do just a little a day, every day, because if you do sit there and brush & brush & brush it'll just keep coming. You could be there for HOURS and the little dead buggers will just keep taunting you on the brush! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pandii Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I never thought of them as shedders either, but my Sebbi does. I will just keep brushing and washing and brushing and washing, its just so much work to keep the house dog hair free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravyk Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I never thought of them as shedders either, but my Sebbi does.I will just keep brushing and washing and brushing and washing, its just so much work to keep the house dog hair free I feel for you...no one ever told me ACDs shed. Spot leaves clouds of hair when he shakes and when he sheds his summer coat the dust outside is 1/2 dirt 1/2 hair!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pandii Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I do think Shar Peis should come with a warning sticker I had a vizzla person here one night and Seb shook and had this huge fur cloud around him, the look on the vizzla owners face was priceless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisygirl Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Generally Sharpei dont shed but I have noticed that the brushcoats seem to shed more than horsecoats. I NEVER see one hair of Daisy except when I brush her (about once a week if she is lucky). Fuchsia will permanently shed even though she is a horsecoat but she has soft fur like a brushcoat, just the length of horsecoat. Every time she shakes there is a small cloud of fur. Secret is to have a dog the same colour as your floorboards and then you dont notice the loose fur! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pandii Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I would embrace the hair but there is so much of it Sebs a brush coat, and its soft, real soft but it falls out constantly and i have carpet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
