<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It's shedding time in our house. Rolph is quite
polite about his hair loss - just a few extra dust dinos scooting round the
floor - but Clara......OMD</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Anyway, last year I bought a furminator. It isn't
so great for Rolph - his long coat responds better to the old shedding comb -
but for Clara it is fantastic. Every time it is used enough hair to make a spare
basset appears. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But here's the question, it doesn't seem to matter
how long she is furminated, there still seems to be more hair coming off. I am
concerned I might make her sore by constant brushing, yet even after 30 mins of
combing, little clouds of hair appear when she is stroked.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>So, does anyone know how long I can keep combing
her without hurting her? Or should I just comb her every day for shorter
periods?</FONT></DIV>
