Is this a particularly bad year for dog moulting for anyone else or is it just my Collie?. She's been moulting in handfuls for the last fortnight......no sign of it finishing yet either. I've never known it to be so bad or for it to last for so long !!! xx

I've got a collie and the same thing is happening

Muffy I have two border collies and its been an awful year. Handfuls of fur everywhere. They are begining to get a complex lol .............I am never far behind them with the hoover.

Thanks .......glad it's not just happening here !! I don't think I've ever hoovered so much and I am a dog less since last year ..... with the amount of hair over my floor you'd think I had about 5 dogs living here not just two. (one of the two is a Poodle and is non moulting too) Seems to be a Collie thing so far lol xx

I have short haired dog and he has been rolling around the floor like mad .I gave him a brush the other day and could not believe the amount of hair that came out.Do it every day now and it is horrendous.It must make them very uncomfortable and itchy.

My Greyhound is moulting badly too and I have never noticed it as bad as this year! xx

Someone asked about moulting cats on a much earlier thread.My reply was to say she should save up all the fur and have it made into a nice, thick cardi or something.This was after a news item about a couple who did this with their cat, or dog fur, not too sure now.lol

I have Lhasa Apsos and they don't moult, but everyday at the moment when I brush them I am getting more hair in the brush than normal, so maybe it is just this year.

No dogs but four cats and waiding my way through fur - my Meile cat and Dog is taking a battering - good job its under guarentee hehehehe

Everytime I hoover its just as bad ten mins later - reminds me of that awful couple that knitted jumpers out of their dog fur ....euuuwww hope they dont get caught in the rain hehehehe.

Just brushed him again and still just as much hair coming out.I now say where's the brush and he stands waiting for it.Bless.!

OMG Muffy I thought that said mounting dogs for min...my eyes really do need testing...

ROFLMAO

tis just your filthy mind lady lololol xx

**snorts ** ermm no I thought they was a breed of something.......so now who has the filthy mind eh eh eh....tsk....** flounces **

*wonders how she just walked right into that one* pmsl xx

** sighs ** ....arrggg thought I had lost me touch for while Muffy...lol

Dont know about dogs, but I have never moulted so much since I had chemo! Hair all over my shoulders when I tidy myself and on the carpet. Shows up too as it is white! Jean

Jean I am a moulter ( without chemo ) when the weather changes ....winter to spring and summer to autum....you want to see it ..well no youdont..

Aw bless ya Jean. It'll grow back stronger and better hon ((((hugs))))

I wish the grey hairs I keep finding would moult out permanently ...... xx

Oh guys, some of you know Im involved with a dog rescue and I was talking to people a month or so back about not wanting to take my disabled dog for grooming as I dont want him to be under any stress BUT he has such a thick undercoat I had to get his hair thinned. Id tried just about every brush and gadget on the market but they didnt seem to help. A girl told me about the Furminator - I didnt think it would be much cop but I was well impressed by the videos on their site and I bought the medium size one from a firm on the net called Simpsons of Langley.

Oh honest guys, its a god send. I used it on my disabled boy and he usually hates being brushed or groomed but he actually seems to like this. I got many handfuls of hair out and now I do both dogs every day, just a few whips through and more handfuls come out.

Do get one, its so worth the money. Mine was the medium size for about £31 inc postage -(which is the cost of one grooming for one of my dogs) I think the small size is really only for tiny dogs and cats.

can't remember the name ,but i get a bottle of stuff from pet shop,cost about 6pound works good only draw back is when you stop useing it moulting starts again ,going to get a bottle tomorrow
