I have a 9 month old Great Pyrenees and she sheds very bad. I brush her all the time and it just don't help. It comes out in big white clumps and it everywhere and out of control. Is there a treatment that can be done besides shaving her?Besides brushing a dog - What is a way to control shedding?
This is exactly why we tell people that a pyr is not for everyone %26amp; they should learn all about the breed traits before getting one. If the shedding bothers you this much, you may have chosen the wrong dog for you.
Pyrs shed most once in the fall and once in the spring. They shed more then to change from summer coat to winter coat, and from winter coat back to summer coat. The rest of the year they also shed, but less so.
DO NOT SHAVE YOUR DOG! The fur grows in a way meant to protect the dog's skin from sunburn in summer, and from cold weather and rain in winter and rainy season. You harm the dog if you shave her. It's also inappropriate to shave her just because you don't like the fact that she needs to be groomed regularly. That's a fact of life with a pyr. You need to join a pyr group to ask questions and learn about the breed.
You can take her every month or two to a PetSmart to have her groomed and the undercoat combed out. That will help. Get a groomer who's well experienced with great pyrenees.
OR
you can get a rake, a slicker brush, a comb, another comb with alternating length teeth, and learn to comb her out some every 2-3 days yourself. That will form a bond between you both as well as socialize her and it's good for both of you.
If you know anyone who spins their own wool, they'd LOVE to have some pyr fur to spin.
At PetSmart, they use the Furminantor DeShedding conditioner as part of the treatment. I took my pyrs in for their first grooming this summer and was very pleased with the results. My groomer got ALL the undercoat out so they were silky and shed a lot less for weeks. -!-Besides brushing a dog - What is a way to control shedding?
All dogs shed but should only shed twice a year, seasonally. Excessive shedding all year round for any breed can be a sign of poor nutrition. Check the ingredients in your dog's food to make sure that she is getting meat as the main ingredients of her food, not corn, not meat flavoring, not chemical preservatives and dyes.
Then, find a quality supplement to add to this diet because commercial pet foods are heat processed and many nutrients your dog needs are actually cooked out of the food. So, adding vitamins and enzymes and probiotics is necessary.
Keep her on this type of diet for life, not just until she stops shedding. Remember that it may be a while before her shedding slows down, but it will!
Feed her a high quality food. Corn, wheat, soy, and chemical ingredients can cause skin issues and excessive shedding. Try Canidae, California Natural, Innova, or Wellness.
California Natural Skin and Coat Supplement works like a charm to end shedding.
There are other supplements you can try.
Shampoo has nothing to do with shedding.
Vacuuming is key. Vacuum the dog if she'll let you.
Nope - brushing and vacuuming is about it. There is no ';miracle'; stopper for shedding - no shampoo, no grooming tips, nadda. She is shedding because she HAS to - it's the bodies way of getting rid of dead hairs.
Perfectly natural and normal for her breed - did you not come across this during your research?
Note: In very RARE cases poor diet can contribute to shedding. Changing diet to a kibble with NO corn or by-products MAY help, but won't get rid of it totally (especially in a breed well known for massive shedding.)
no treatments. thats like asking if there are treatments to stop peoples dead skin cells from falling off.
if shedding was this much of a problem, you should not have gotten a pyrenees.
you can get special brushes that get all of the loose hairs off you dog (search for the ';furminator'; brush). they work pretty good.
also for a bit more money, you can go to the groomers and they will probably have some technics to help with this.
you should brush her then give her a bath to get extra fur off of her the when shes some what wet like when her fur is damp brush her again then when her fur is completely dry brush her again. i know its a lot of brushing but this works with my dog hope that it helps :)
she is shedding her puppy coat, it will get better as she gets older, but not by much. Get a good ';for pets'; vacuum cleaner and use it. Also, she will shed less with a healthy diet, I have two poms and they shed less *it seems* now that i have them on the RAW diet. They also get a bath every 3 mos and are brushed daily.
Some breeds just shed more than others. Has she been shedding like this all her life, or is it just recent? If it is recent, she could be bathed too often, causing dry skin. If you are brushing your dog, make sure your getting to the undercoat. Check her skin to, has she been scratching lately?
A good diet and daily brushing will help LOADS. I have a few friends who use the Furminator, you might want to look into that. but it is pricey.
And you have to remember, this breed sheds no matter what. It is something that comes with the breed. It's going to happen.
try a different shampoo.
her hair may be falling out becuase of dry skin so maybe find a nourishing oatmeal shampoo to keep her skin healthy and strong
sure..
its called running the vacumme cleaner.. that helps control the hair.
Shaving wont stop shedding, she will just shed shorter hairs.
You can`t stop shedding. If her coat is shiny and her skin is good, I wouldn`t worry. NEVER shave a dog!
Yes. It's called ';not having a dog';.

What are the contents in insecticide chalks used to control ants and cockroaches?
I've seen many white Chinese chalks sold on the market, used for deterring against roaches and ants. Active ingredients are Tralomethrin, Deltamethrin and Ermethrin. What are the other ingredients contained in these chalks aside from the active ingredients?What are the contents in insecticide chalks used to control ants and cockroaches?
Boric acid.What are the contents in insecticide chalks used to control ants and cockroaches?
';Chalk'; in the name should tell you something. Check the labels on the product; they should list the inert ingredients, too.
hmmm let me guess could it be CHALK

How old do you have to be buy birth control?
So I've made up my mind and I want to have sex with my boyfriend. I want to be safe though, and I won't do it without birth control. Is the cheap stuff you buy at the walk in clinic as effect as the expensive birth control. Will it give me health problems? How much is it? Just basic information please. And don't tell me I'm to young because I am 16 but at least I'm being safe. I just want the facts.How old do you have to be buy birth control?
Go the your local teen clinic. The one where i live supplies the same thing that doctors do but it's free of cost if you don't get paid a certain amount of money.
Kudos to being safe. I just urge you to clearly think through and talk to your boyfriend about what you guys would do if you did end up getting pregnant. you need a plan.How old do you have to be buy birth control?
Make an appt and get the information from a doctor. Or go to the family planning clinic or woman's clinic in your area. The Doctor will treat this as confidential. Each brand of birth control pill has a different potency based on your doctor's recommendation. If you are old enough to have sex and potentially make a baby from the act, you are old enough to go to the doctor and face the music.
I think there are some birth control pills that require a doctor's prescription if you're under 18. If you're over 18 you can go to the pharmacy counter and buy them without a prescription. Ask an older friend to buy them for you if you're embarrassed to ask you're doctor.
Also if you're buying birth control pills combine them with condoms so you're 100 percent safe :)
Hope it helps.
if you go to a place like planned parenthood you can get birthcontrol at 16. you have to get a check up which is like 150 dollars and then the birth control is like 16 a month depending on what they give you! it shouldnt give you health problems it may lighten your period and make you gain some weight and you cant smoke when on it (if you do) their are some risks but they'll give u all the info when you go! and it's good your being smart! it's better than being a teen mom! lol
The stuff at the clinic is the same. Use a condom anyway to protect from disease. The info that comes with the pills will cover any health issues or inquire at the clinic, they will be happy to help. Good for you for at least being responsible. It's worries me to see 15-16 yr olds pregnant. They are giving up so much
18 but with your parents consent you could get it at your age and i would go with the expensive ones im not sure about the exact facts, but just read the labels
18 and overnatural hair

How much control should a government have in a mixed-market economy?
I'm writing an essay about this topic, and I just wanted to know what you guys thought! Any help would be greatly appreciated =)How much control should a government have in a mixed-market economy?
A government should have necessary control, but not too much.
In a mixed economy, the government owns infrastructure, medicare, social security, they spend on law enforcement as well as education. We have a mixed economy in the United States.How much control should a government have in a mixed-market economy?
Their should be a very limited role of government. Its primary purpose is to protect private property. Its role it NOT to redistribute private property. Providing education is a good idea, but not necessarily the governments obligation. If it was not provided publicly, there would be more privately run primary and secondary schools. It does have a role to provide infrastructure since goods like roads are public goods. Though, if it did not, there would be toll roads instead. We actually do pay for roads indirectly instead of directly.
The more the government plays a role in our economic life the more our freedoms erode. Government does not create wealth but simply redistributes it. When used for national defense, highways, sewers, public utilities etc. OK. But when they start to redistribute they quash initiative and you end up with more and more people depending on the government for their support from housing to food. If you like socialism, move to Europe. If you prefer free enterprise (capitalism), stay here and protect that freedom.

Can birth control suddenly produce side effects after years of being on it?
I was on Yasmin for about 4 years without any problems or side effects and then I stopped it for 3 months. After that time I started it back up again and after about 2 months this time around I've started to have weird symptoms such as frequent urination episodes, dry mouth, and most recently I'm experiencing muscle weakness and tingling in arms and legs. I've had blood tests and everything comes back normal so I'm wondering if all of this ties in to Yasmin. Has anyone had similar experiences?Can birth control suddenly produce side effects after years of being on it?
Any medication can have side effects regardless of how long you've been taking it. Very important to report these to your doctor especially if the onset was after you started the medication.Can birth control suddenly produce side effects after years of being on it?
yes it can- i had the same thing on a really low dose pill. Its just your bodys way of reacting to the pill..just remember that although its so common for the pill to be used as contraceptive or to control periods its still not natural to fill the body up with hormones, which is what its doing in hind sight. Theres a vitamin course you can get from a health shop could 30+ which helps counteract the symptoms and its all natural, i found they helped immensely, especially with the mood swings and sore muscles etc.
omg i thought i was crazy i had the same effects. and i went to my doctor and she said that is nothing to worry about, that is only symptoms that are shouldn't care about and that is normal and it si because it went away in a couple of days. dont pay much attention to it you should be OK if not go to your doctor, i hope this help =D
good luck hope you feel better
That's very common. I think it's recommended that birth control be switched every couple of years because using the same one for many years reduces its effectiveness or causes symptoms.
