Ben started a couple of days ago, I'm presuming because of the central heating being on most of the day now. He has very short, fine eyelash like hair and I don't like eyelashes - they remind me of dead insect legs - and it's all over my clothes and furniture.
More importantly, it's setting off my asthma.
He snuggled into me for a cuddle this morning and when I put him down, I was COVERED in hair and wheezing.
I've brushed him with a thick bristle brush and a short wire brush this morning and neither of them brought anything off him. He was good as gold thanks to the hotdog in my hand.
Any tips on brushes or techniques? Thanks.
And, having had a lab/goldie previously, who moulted all year round (with no adverse effects on my asthma) I don't know how long this is likely to last?
