Dog Shedding Season Survival Guide 🧺🐾

Shedding season… aka the time of year when you start wondering if your dog is secretly duplicating himself 😅🐶

Here’s how we survive it with Buckster (and keep our sanity):

• No Furminator deshedding tool! We don’t use it — Buckster has a double coat, and we’ve learned it can actually do more harm than good. 🚫

• Furminator Curry Comb — our absolute favorite! Gentle, effective, and plastic (so super easy to clean). Bonus tip: it also cleans carpets like a pro 😅 — tested and approved.

• Tangle Teezer for Dogs — still one of our top picks. Perfect for smoothing that shiny lab coat after brushing sessions. ✨

• We’ve tried tons of other brushes, but honestly… these two win every time. 🧴

• Labrador hack: put on a light T-shirt around the house — it really helps minimize fur explosions everywhere 😅🐾

Regular brushing + patience + a good vacuum = survival mode activated ✅

_______________

How do you survive shedding season? Any miracle tools we should try next? 👇
