Shedding!!!

How many of you in the Northeast have dogs that are shedding right now? Normally, they are putting on their winter coats. I guess the warm weather is causing it.

Re: Shedding!!!

I'm in the midwest and some of my dogs are still shedding and hardly anyone is growing coat

Re: Shedding!!!

Denver area and no coats either. Seniors blowing like it's mid summer.

Re: Shedding!!!

50% aren't blowing coat, they're just back in full coat. The other 50% are out of coat just starting to add coat. They should all be in full coat if I bring some to The Potomac. That's IF I want to go broke given certain circumstances.

Re: Shedding!!!

I was praying my girl could hold on through January, but started blowing this week, :(

I have the glue gun at the ready, lolol!!

Re: Shedding!!!

Anyone have a favorite way to hurry up the shedding? And once it stops, about how long does it take for the coat to come back in? Six weeks?

Re: Shedding!!!

Once they start blowing their coats there's really no stopping it. To get it over and done with I give them all a nice bath and scrub them with a rubber curry brush. That messages the skin and loosens all the dead coat, I then use my grooming dryer and blow out the coat so that the new coat will come back quicker. This is what works for me....Good luck!

Happy Holidays!
