Labrador Retriever Dogs Blog

Do you get as overwhelmed with dog hair as we do in our house? It seems our chocolate labrador retriever Cooper is in a state of constant shedding. He loses so much hair that I was afraid I was going to have to get him some type of hair loss solution but it hasn't come to that as of yet.

I have a few tips on how to better handle dog hair and shedding. The first it to stay on top of it. As simple as that. Just get yourself into a routine of cleaning it up everyday and pretty soon you just won't notice it. If you don't stay on top of sweeping or cleaning it can and will take over your house. Which leads me to my next point, invest in a good vacuum or sweaper (depending if you have carpets or hardwood). If you cheap out on a vacuum clean that won't or can't properly handle dog hair then you aren't helping yourself. Finally, make sure you do lots of brushings outdoors in a room where you can clean things up. A well groomed dog won't be dropping as much hair all over your house and you will find your dog will like to be brushed.

Isn't it funny how a dog can affect your life. You have to water and feed them. You have to make sure they get their proper medical treatments and make sure they get their exercise. They become a part of the family for most of us. Well this was never more clearer to me when my other half and I started to discuss maybe purchasing some modern furniture. Not only do we have to take our tastes and preferences into consideration but we have to think about our chocolate labrador retriever as well. Not that we are taking his comfort level into thought, he seems pretty comfortable laying on a cement floor. What we are thinking about is the dog hair. It doesn't make much sense for us to buy something that would collect hair. Simple as that. We have to make our decision with our furriest family member in mind.
