I just got a new rat terrier puppy that sheds like crazy, do any of those supplements like salmon oil, dinovite work?

Doesn't look like you're going to get much help here.


Try the dog shedding board. Should be in the pop-down menu.

We switched over to the blue buffalo food. Our little dog cut shedding quite a bit.

I dont know if that helped or a coincidence. We were using just whatever we grabbed off the shelf prior.

That wirey hair "sews" itself into everything I bet.

Its spring. Brush him daily or more. He will settle into his warm weather coat in a few weeks.

The only thing you can do is brush off his winter coat. If you git a breed that sheds, nothing can fix that shirt if getting it shaved.

It's getting warm. His winter coat is coming off. Brush him or get a robot vac

Get a Dyson vacuum cleaner.

Use it daily and hope he's just blowing his winter coat off until the summer one comes in. Of course, he'll lose the summer coat later this year for the winter coat, hence the Dyson.

Thanks wife. Lets go spend $400 on a vacuum cleaner that does the same job the $120 vacuum does. Dyson may as well be called Louis Vitton.

Whatever dude. I paid a bit over $200 for mine, it's now at least 3 years old and has picked up about 4 tons of German Shepherd Dog hair. Use it almost daily. Bought it after two $120 burned up because of the hair.

and the OP asked for help w dog shedding issues, so GFY.

Should've bought a Roomba. Does the same shite as the Dyson but I do zero of the work.

This.

My dog sheds a lot all year round. Gave the anti-shedding dog shampoos and food a try and it didn't help.

We used to have a rattie and she shed like that til the day she passed. In fact, she's been gone almost 4 years and occasionally, I'll still find a hair or two of her's stuck to some of the wool sweaters I don't wear very often.

Brushing helps. But not with a regular brush. (Hairs are too short) We got one of these and the fine little hairs stuck to the grooved part. Was one of the only things that worked. The hair came out in bunches.

These work very well. I have a lab and a labradoodle that shed like crazy.

Absolutely. I didn't realize how much dog hair is around until we got a Roomba while moving into a new house with hard floors in the main rooms. We can tell a huge difference when it hasn't hit the living room for a day or two.

Will probably never go without one again between dogs and kids.

Also makes me cringe thinking about our old house with carpet everywhere except the kitchen and bathrooms...

Serious answer... I switch my shop vac to blow and blow the hair off outside as long as the dog will let me. The damn yard looks like a snow globe but it beats hair all over the house.

I have both and the Roomba is a waste of money if you have a dog with long hair. The bin fills up really fast.
