I own 2 corgi mixes and they shed like crazy. I have to sweep every day - sometimes more often. It is driving me nuts. Does your dog shed too? Are there any good supplements to help ease the shedding? What do you do?

My dog also shed too and it is really tiring to clean our house because of that. But somehow I think it is seasonal. There are months where my dog shed too much fur but there are times that they don't shed. Anyway, I'm getting used to it for almost 6 years now.

It is just a pain to have to sweep every single day. I guess you are right - we will get used to it.

My dog shed too. I was bother by the shedding at first because I thought my dog was allergic to her dog food and treat. Honestly I don't like the shedding due to the fact that you will have the clean the area always, My hubby and I are also prone to rhinitis. So I asked a friend of mine who owns a pet shop and she told me that it's natural that dog shed in a certain time of the year. It will just stop and soon you'll see the dog will have a more shiny hair.

Thanks. I think they shed more in the summer. Have to keep an eye on it.

The best ways I ever helped my dogs with every day shedding, was simply by brushing its' coat daily. Which helped remove a lot of the loose hairs and such which would have to be cleaned up. Giving your dogs a bath can also help some with the shedding problems.

Well a hard work and more responsibily on having a pet. Do more and more in maintaing the proper appearance and habits of most pet in the house. Its like a pack within its pile of mount chocolate. If its hot it melts. Which is better to be more attentive to your pet.
