My dog shed's INSANE amounts anything I can do?

Our Yellow Lab shed's ALOT , and I know that labs are supposed to shed but We have had plenty of Dogs in the past We have a black lab and I have NEVER seen a dog shed as much as she goes. Litteraly Fills up a vacume bag with just dog hair within a couple of days.

You can Wash and blow dry her and Brush her and just TONS of it comes out yet she STILL sheds like a S.O.B , all day long!

I have to figure something out , I Run a daycare and All the dog hair isnt good for the kids,But We love her and want her to be with the kids because She's very good with children, and wouldnt feel right about keeping her seperated from us.

Any ideas?

thanks!

We had a female yellow lab, same problem...Lab thing. We gave her a daily pill to help. Ask your vet....I can't remember the name of it. I'm sure you know better, but don't shave her:)

Good luck!

Well you are right, labs do shed. You could try talking to your vet and see if it might be worth trying her on a different food. You can also add some kind of oil to her food to possibly improve the quality of her coat. Maybe flax seed or fish oil.

Sometimes coat problems are the result of a food that just doesn't agree with your dog. Have her checked by your vet and get suggestions.

Good luck - she sounds like a great dog who should be around kids.!

it may sound awful, but have her shaved, it'll prolly feel good in the summer months, i have a black lab mix and have the same problem. they can shave her so that she's not completely bald and it will just be the length of the hair on her head.

good luck

It comes with the territory. You may be able to get a special shampoo from the vet that will help. It is amazing how much hair comes off such a short haired dog.
