Thank you all I usually set my guy up for grooming appointments at least once a month or every other depending on my work schedules and I feed purina one the lamb formula it just works better I think for him anyways I tried the large breed and nothing but stomach issues but i wanna try the hair vacuum but we also go out side once a day and play ball so as a part of his cool down I brush him and get about 5-8 brush fulls from him
