I'm wondering for those of you with pets, any ideas on how to reduce or manage the shedding of fur?

My cat Romeo sheds. Most of the time I don't see it. I came across it today on a chair that has a cushion on it. The chair is rarely used. Romeo lays on it though. I put my hand on it and I could feel the fur. It must be covered in fur.

I grin and bear it, LOL. Seriously, my cat, my MIL's 3 cats, and my 3 dogs ALL are heavy shedders. I brush everyone as often as I can, bath the dogs regularly, and buy LOTs of those sticky roller things. I also invested in upholstery protectors and I have very few rugs in my house. It's a constant battle.

Thanks.

Get a fish tank. Even if fish shed it just falls to the bottom of the tank.

I have a German Shepherd with a heavy undercoat that sheds like crazy. I use a thing called a Furminator. They make them for cats and should be available at Petsmart or Petco. It's kind of a cross between a comb and a small rake - it pulls out a lot of hair. The best thing is my dog likes it, and will come over for a comb whenever I take the cap off.

Good luck,

Thanks, I'll try that.
