shedding hair?

Hi my staffy friends!!!

Sky has started to shed a lot of hair. im not sure if she did before but i noticed it on a white duvet.

Do you brush? or any thing?

I brush Daisy, it keeps her coat nice and clean and soft  

Do you use any particular shampoo/ brush? does she enjoy it?

I have some neem shampoo, I use that because she's had bad demodex. The brush is just one from pets at home, like this

Yeah she likes being brushed although if she sees me coming towards her with something in my hand she'll run off and hide, like this!!  



But once she knows I'm brushing her its fine!!

Haha is she in the bush? i hav just started brushing skys teeth and she used to run away from me!

I should have also said, I don't bath very often, you don't need to. I only bath if she gets very dirty or smelly, two maybe three times a year, some people bath less than that. I try and brush her every week now and it keeps her coat nice

Yeah  Its because she's had so many treatments for different ailments she's suspicious of what I'm going to do to her!!

O bles! i hav just started brushing skys teeth. she used to run too!

In bush darcy every week too, to keep her coat nice :DI use paul Mitchell oatmeal shampoo when needed :- http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0023TOXCM

Thats expensive darcy! is it worth it? sky suffers from skin probs. but when we gt her we piked the cheapest stuff. id now rather have the best stuff for her

I'm going to get oatmeal shampoo next and add neem oil to it (ella's suggestion) rather than buying the neem shampoo

These beauts! too expensive! lol

It is expensive but well worth it, it's lasts for ages and you only need a little bit darcy skin is quite sensitive so that's why I use it, caryll one of our admins recommended it to me

I also brush Rocky, good for their coats and to get the extra hair out too

Saz, Daisy in the bush is just too cute!

This time of year they will shed like mad (more than usual) so i would get a furminator and give her a good brushing each day.

No baths here for Vinnie just brush with a furminator and washed paws and underneath if he gets too dirty  

Ours get brushed daily at the moment (same brush as Saz) since it's been very dry and dusty here!

Im doing mine every other day at the moment and even then its only to the places i can get too. Marley loves it and falls asleep while laska runs off like im trying to groom her with a gardening rake   I usually use a rubber Mitt type brush but when its starting to come out in clumps i use a shedding blade.
