Stop my Dalmation Dog from shedding so much!!!?

What can I do short of shaving my dalmation to make her stop shedding so much? Or does anyone know a good product to clean up after her? We have hardwood floors and carpet and as of now I use a vacuum (Dyson Pet) and a Swifter Wet Jet and then I end up on my hands and knees with a damp rag getting all the hair everything else missed. It lasts 2 minutes until she walks past me and the floor is covered again. I do brush her outside everyday, but that doesn’t seem to help.

I have an old dalmation dog…?

I have a dalmation that is about 15 yrs old. I have only been his owner for the last 7-8 months. He was left tied to a pole at a park across the street from where i live. My oldest son being the bleeding heart animal lover convinced me to take the dog on. Well for this last 7 months the dog has been healthy and happy but just a few hours ago my husband called to say that the dog bit my 4 yr old daughter in theface. no broken skin just a red marka & a scared baby. But my husband has no sympothy for this dog now that it has turned on the baby. He says the dog has to go. I know the dog is old and unadoptable and the humaine society ( the no kill shelter) has no space for him. So now what…. I hate the thought of taking him to the pound and them putting him down. Any “GOOD” suggestions?

Chew Toys for Your Dalmatian Puppy

Chewing is normal for all puppies. It is their hereditary way of communicating within the litter. You should have some chew toys for the puppy to use in order to replace undesirable chewing tendencies. If your Dalmatian puppy goes for the TV knobs, give him a 1/4in diameter composite chewing log.

All Dalmatians are incredibly efficient at destroying chew toys. The only one that is apparently indestructible is the beehive-shaped rubber toy, which lasts for years around both pups and adults, and they enjoy chewing them. An inexpensive thing that puppies will play with for days before they start to wear it out is a plastic pop bottle. If you keep the cap on, the container is too large to get a good grip on and the puppies will use it as a giant hockey puck whenever they see it.

Another caution with regard to chewing has to do with house, yard, and garden plants. Identify the vegetation you have and call your vet, a plant expert, or maybe even do your own research and find out whether your plants are toxic to dogs. They will chew on rocks, too, especially ones about as big as your thumb that are fun to toss around in their mouths. If you catch them doing this, take the rock from them and get rid of it, telling them “No!” Some Dalmatians will get carried away with sloshing them around in their mouths and before they know it, they swallow them.

There are also foods that are toxic to dogs. Teaching a Dalmatian what is and is not permissible to chew is generally a process that lasts the lifetime of the dog. They are constantly discovering new things to chew. As a final note on chewing, though it is cute to have the puppy untie your shoelaces or clamp surprisingly sharp puppy teeth on your fingers, it is not cute for a sixty-pound adult to do the same things.

If you want a well-behaved adult Dalmatian, do not allow your puppy to continue his “chewing communication” with you. When he comes up and puts his mouth on anything that you would not allow an adult to bite or chew, catch him in the act of starting to bite the object and snap him on the end of the nose with your index finger, and tell him clearly out yelling “No!”

This kind of correction will startle the puppy more than anything else, and you will find that he will direct his attention somewhere else almost immediately. Be generous with your praise

when he changes his focus of activity. If you are consistent with this form of correction at an early age, you will wind up with a very well-mannered Dalmatian.
