I vacuum twice a day, AND vacuum and brush Balen everyday but there is still hair everywhere! Our clothes are still covered in it, I have to be careful when I'm cooking not to get hair in our food- When I pet him, I can see the hair floating through the air -you get the idea.
I know he is a German Shepherd, but this seems excessive.
I have heard of supplements that are supposed to help decrease shedding such as fish oil.
Anyone have any suggestions or experience with supplements?
When I first got my gsd, I was going freaking crazy over the shedding especially during the summer. I brushed him every morning and, every night. I was vacuuming constantly. I noticed that the healthier he got, the less he shed. (He was in bad shape when I got him!) I talked to K9 unit officers, military dog handlers, vets ANYONE that could help and, I heard the same responses over and over. It could be allergies. If they are allergic to something in their food, they will shed like crazy. I was also told that a nice steak once a week would do wonders. I now have two shepherds and, they are eating good food and, sure enough get a weekly steak. The shedding issue is a quarter of what it was when I just first got Fynn. Good luck!
I vacuum and brush every day. Shedding is not too much of an issue. But I guess that's why they are called German shredders
