Shedding

Our 1 yr old Newfoundland is shedding so much lately. He's an inside/outside dog. I groom him once a week, he looks wonderful. I thought this would really help with the shedding, but I find myself still vacuuming every day!!! I was just wondering if other Newfy owners are having the same dilemma.

Hi Cherie....even though our Newf is only 9 mos. old, I can sympathize with you. I vacuum EVERY day. She's professionally groomed once a month and I brush in-between. I was told to brush her for like 15 minutes a day. I don't know about you, but sometimes that's just not possible! I've never had so much dog hair, but then again, I've never had a long haired dog. I think it just comes with the territory. Good luck!
