Guest guest Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Hi All, Does anyone have any natural ways to deal with excessive shedding for dogs? I have a wonderful large mutt that sheds constantly. I don't want to give her anything that may be harmful to her down the road. Worse case scenaro.....I continue to brush and sweep daily. Thanks for any input. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Hi dawn, I add enzymes to my dogs and cats meals and it helps tremendously. Some dogs may blow their coat first. The enzymes also have a lot of benefit for other health aspects of your dog besides shedding(my 13 y/o gets benefits for arthritis). This will cut out the "excessive" aspect of her shedding. Maybe check into what you are feeding her. She could be lacking something from whatever you are feeding her.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 When I had a dog I gave him a little olive oil in with his food. When I gave him too much his coat would feel oily. Reduce the amount until the coat feels normal. This helped a lot. PA Everyone is raving about the all-new Mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Hi Joe- I use a product from Biopet called nzymes. I can buy it at my local healthfood store. The phone number is at the bottom of this page. http://www.nzymes.com/ You can speak with Stan who is the owner and he usually give you a deal for first time buying online.... an extra bottle of the treats. He recommends double dosage for 2 weeks then regular dosage after that. I buy the granules because I have 5 dogs and 2 cats and we all take them (yes... I take them too). I buy the treats for my senior dog.... spartacus. He is 13 years old with spinal fusion and arthritis. He is a rottweiler. I was going to put him down 4 years ago.... becasuse he was having trouble getting up.... He is a poster child for enzymes! Stopping the excessive shedding was a wonderful side effect! If you speak to Stan he will be able to tell you if they are available locally to you... what store you can buy them from. The amount to give is by weight which is on the label and at the website. Hope this helps you and your friend(s)! Always Debbie - Joe Anshien herbal remedies Thursday, August 24, 2006 4:43 PM Herbal Remedies - Re: Excessively shedding dog What kind of Enzymes you using?
