Black lab losing winter coat

And it is everywhere.

I have had cream carpet and it is driving me nuts.

Is there any way to speed up the process? We've been brushing but very little comes off, then she lays down and the carpet is covered...

Buy a Furminator - brilliant brush that gets piles and piles of hair off. We have a yellow lab, and can fill a carrier bag with hair every time.

When we changed the carpet a couple of years ago, we bought one that matched the dog - I know the dog hairs are there but they are not as noticeable!

Second furminator. It will get all the loose hair. I try to run it over my longer haired dog every day or two when he's blowing his coat and it really makes a difference.
