Need Help!!! Dog shedding alot???/

[JARRETT SHARK]

I need help bad!!!!
I have 2 english bulldogs and my new 1 year old is sheeding like crazy!!
Not sure why one does not shed that much then the other?
I am having a new born in 1 month and I am scared for the baby's health?
I vacuum everyday,I comb him everyday and running out of patience.
I will never give up my dogs but thats how I feel now.

Jarret, It's not uncommon for dogs to shed excessively during this time of the year. A lot of times they are just shedding their winter coat which is alot thicker than their regular coat too help keep them warm. There is a Vitamin pill that they claim works, It's for the dogs skin and reduces shedding. It definitely seemed to work with my girlfriends Yellow lab. I told her to stop because i brush and bath the dog regularly and didn't think any additives were necessary on a growing puppy, but it did seem too help. Ill try to get you the name when i speak to her.

Keep on top of brushing the animals and getting them bathed and prepare to vacuum a few times a day and possibly restrict them from the kids room and playroom until the baby grows an immunity too any possible allergies.

When I wash them, that same day full of hair??
What is fish oil??

Nair Jarrett Nair and a towel lol J/K I have heard that there are oils that moisten the coat as well as increase the health of the folicles so they shed less. Good luck with the pup and the new baby!

thanks Jimmy
Johnny get me that pill name.
I will have to take a pic of all this hair on my floor. The worst is I have hard wood floors that are dark so every hair I see perfect. I wish I had carpet

do you think I can shave a english bulldog?

Gorgeous bulldogs by the way- I loved the pics on the dog thread of them also-

NO DONT SHAVE THEM.. THEIR COAT protects them from the sun..sensitive skin.. the fish oil is for a clean shiny coat... after u bath them they will shed more but its just the loose hair.. gotta keep brushing them out..

lol although some dog groomers will shave any breed i wouldn't even think about shaving the dog man. Those dogs are really prone to skin conditions and that would be about the worst thing you could do. That coat keeps them cool and protects them from the sun.


I was a barber in high school and then started doing dog grooming for around 3 years at my cousins place.

shave his butt and teach him to walk backwards lmao

I agree with the winter coat thing I'm sure he will be fine which is why I been making jokes

P.S. you having a boy? I got enough baby stuff to fill your house lol hit me up

Ive been battling skin diseases on my dogs since i was a baby. My parents split up when i was 1 so i had double the animals growing up lol. always giving medication.

I had 2 shar peis growing up at my mothers which were very bad, And two pitbulls with HORRIBLE skin blisters.

Fish oil is for a healthy coat. I use human grade fish oil pills. One per meal.

What kind of food are you feeding your dogs?

Go pick up the zoom groom brush and you will be amazed by how much hair it removes.

Furminator doesn't work too well for bully breeds with short tight coats.
