Until I got my dogs on a holistic food (I have big furry ones) I had a huge shedding problem. Now, with good food and regular brushing, it is minimal. What food/treats does the dog get?

I have two Akitas that shed like crazy.... their hair is on everything... I vacuum but that doesn't seem to help.... I have had food on the table waiting for me to sit down, and what do I find in it...DOG HAIR!!!! I feel you and wished that they didn't shed so much.... I was told that I have to brush them both for at least 45 minutes a day to reduce the hair shedding, but seriously I don't have that kind of time... others have told me that I need to change their food and shampoo.... all of which will probably still not help....

You are to expect this when you own a dog. That said, there are things you can do to help with excessive shedding..a high quality diet, and supplements like salmon oil, flax seed oil, and Vitamin E. Lack of grooming can be part of the problem as well. Brush/groom daily, and switch to a high quality diet, and supplements. Excessive shedding can also signal a health issue, which, of course, should be checked by a Vet. One of the perks that comes with owning a dog.

That's not said to be a smart aleck. I have the same problem with my Welsh Corgi mix and my orange tabby (short hair). The animals shed constantly and I have to vacuum every other day or so. It's crazy. You should also groom the dog more to reduce the shedding. I know someone who has a Shi-Tzu and she ALWAYS brushes the dog. She says that there is no hair in the house when she does this all of the time. You should vacuum more often. That’s not said to be a smart aleck.
