Less than 6 hours after a full sweep/vacuum/mop, we have brown tumbleweeds all over the house. His hair is curly so it not only corkscrews into fabrics, but also tangles with itself to become rolling hairballs.
I had voluminous, curly hair once upon a time. I was always pulling hairballs out of everything. I shave my head every few days now. I don't have those problems anymore. Food for thought.
Shaving a shedding breed dog (like a husky or retriever or shepherd, etc) does not stop the shedding - the hair that sheds is just shorter. Plus you damage the dog's coat - possibly irreparably. It's not like human hair in the slightest.
😂 I'd have to shave my dog daily if that were possible! His fur is so thick that I can only get down to a 1/2" blade. And looks ridiculous at that short of a length.
Do NOT shave double-coat dogs, this is really bad for their hair and skin, and doesn't even stop the shedding. You can cause permanent damage doing this, for nothing.
Chessies have some of the most uniquely frustrating fur to manage that I have ever encountered. My friend had one in elementary school and I just opted to go sockless whenever I visited her house.

Ok, I gotta ask. (I have 3 dogs).
How long since that carpet was last vacuumed?
