Dog Hair Everywhere

When the new FURminator Comfort Edge DeShedding Tool arrived at my door a few weeks ago, I knew just who would be getting a major grooming, my buddy Trooper!

De-Shedding the Dogs with the Furminator

I have to admit, I’m a wee bit jealous of all of Trooper’s glorious hair (he claims he gets his good hair from his mom, the Australian Shepherd). I on the other hand am plagued with Dachshund pattern baldness (it’s a real thing, look it up!), and have to wear coats and sweaters all winter long to keep warm on the farm.

Thanks to our new FURminator mom collected enough Trooper hair to make me a sweater from it! Now who’s good with a loom?

Shedding out Winter Fur with Trooper & Ammo

De-shedding Dogs with Trooper & Ammo the Dachshund

This month my friends at Chewy.com sent me the Furminator Dual Brush to take for a spin. As you know it’s Spring, which in the dog world can also be known as shedding season! While I’m not the kind of dog that needs a ton of de-shedding because of my short coat, I still need brushing occasionally. My buddy Trooper on the other hand, he sheds enough to clothe a whole other dog!

De-shedding Dogs with Trooper & Ammo the Dachshund

With the Furminator Dual Brush we get the best of both worlds. A pin brush on one side for longer coated dogs like Trooper, and a nylon bristle brush on the other side for shorter coated dogs like me.

Brushing 2 dogs with 2 very different coat types was never easier!

You can fetch the Furminator Dual Brush from Chewy.com where it’s on sale right now for under $10! Ammo the Dachshund

Throwback Thursday: Springtime Shedding

Spring is almost here (yes really), and I can always tell when it’s just around the corner because my pony friends start to shed all of their hair!

Now not only do I love shedding season because it means warmer weather should be here soon, but also because pony hair can be quite entertaining! Just check out this video from 2012…

Who else can hardly wait for shedding season to start?
