Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2007 7:30 pm Post subject: Casting x |
|
|
For the past few weeks, even months Rusty has been casting really badly. A brush him about three or four times a day but he still casts a lot. I have never had a dog before so I really don't know what I can do to prevent my mum hoovering three times a day.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Arlene I know what you mean...my two are the same just now.......the more I groom the more that seem to come out
I think that as the weather starts to get a bit colder the dogs coats might be changing to a warmer 'winter coat' which is why the dogs are casting so much.they are shedding their 'summer coat'.
anyone else have any ideas? _________________ John Thomson

Arlene we have wooden floors and the dog hair rolls around like tumbleweed!!!!!!! We have 2 dogs that cast ALL the time. Millions of hair comes out of them constantly. We bought an attachment that goes to the end of your hoover ................... for hoovering the dogs!!!! They LOVE it! They lie back with their legs in the air and get hoovered with the comb attachment! |

John,
I think you're right regarding dogs going from their summer coats to their winter coats.
My Roxy sheds like mad most of the time, she's been worse than usual lately, and was pretty bad April/May time when she is becoming out of coat.
So, Arlene, i'm afraid casting is just something we have to deal with if we have a dog that casts. |

We have all just turned on our central heating as well, that affects the casting - I see a big difference my two |

I agree with you there, Kirsty. I see a difference in Roxy when the heating is on. |

with central heating, dogs coats dont always go through the usual shedding cycle, as it warm all year for them, so they cast all year! _________________ your cat will never annoy by barking at 3am, he wont attack the postman or eat the curtains, although he may climb them to see how the room looks from the ceiling... |

am I right in thinking (recalling being told) that spaying/nutering can have an effect on dogs casting? i am pretty lucky my two are fairly short haired and don't cast too much |

You have to look close to see Otto's hairs, but he is shedding more I think. But then he's maybe just getting his man coat. Least it doesn't show up on clothes. |
