OH god, dont talk to me about the seeds stuck in the fur thing, its burrs, the little green balls, they are the bane of my life having a dog with long fur. She gets smothered in the bloody things!!!!

My dog is shedding like there's no tomorrow, and it's gone on later this year than last year. Being a golden colour, his shed fur is very noticeable on the carpets! It's also the start of the seed pods getting caught in fur season, so he gets plenty of grooming at the moment!

But shedding is a normal thing to be happening at this time of year, my flattie is shedding more this year than I've known her to. I'd checkw ith your Vet before messing about with such things, just in case.
