DDog2, 7yo castrated working cocker. He's always moulted profusely and has been the source of some disagreement between DH and I. I am just home from a late shift and am sat at the dining table as I cannot sit on the sofa in my black work trousers. He isn't even allowed on the furniture!
For example we brushed him today and got handfuls out. I've come home and there's wisps of white hair all over the floor already.
He has a thick and healthy shiny coat and has no health problems. I suspect his coat is in some way faulty as he gets soaked through to the skin in the rain, unlike all my past working spaniels who were wet on the outside but dry on the inside. He has no bald patches or thinning and is regularly treated for fleas and worms. Having him clipped made no discernible difference.
He eats Burns food which is hypoallergenic.
I'm almost at my wits end with the hair and am now (in desperation) looking at a change of diet. Any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated, either food recommendations or ways to curb the moulting short of tying him up in a bin bag with his head poking out the top
