My sixteen year old dachshund actually coughed up a mass of fur this morning. He has developed a habit of licking the couch cover and the rug and is obviously swallowing the hair he picks up. This was no spitting of hair out of his mouth this was from his stomach. I called my vet who advised half a teaspoon of liquid paraffin to be mixed with his food to help the contents of his stomach pass smoothly.
Five years ago he ate sand on the beach and spent a night at a vets being dosed with liquid paraffin.
Hope this helps.
Yes, dog fur can be soft, depending on the breed and individual characteristics of the dog. Many dogs have soft fur that feels pleasant to touch and pet.
I don't see anything wrong with trimming your dog's fur. If it will make it more comfortable, then, by all means, do so. Trimming its fur may also lower the chances of it getting fleas or ticks.
Symptoms of fur balls in dogs may include coughing, gagging, retching, lack of appetite, vomiting, and lethargy. If you suspect your dog has a fur ball, it's important to consult with a veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment. Regular grooming and feeding a high-fiber diet can help prevent fur balls in dogs.
there is really no difference.....most people say dog hair is what it is called when it falls off the dog and fur when it is on the dog...dogs with short fur/hair get less fleas then dogs with long fur/hair.... dogs also with white or light fur get more fleas then dogs with dark or black fur...
A breed of dog with wavy fur is the Portuguese Water Dog. They have a single-layered coat that can be either curly or wavy.
After digesting all the edible parts, they cough the indigestible parts up into a compounded ball known as an owl pellet.
Dog fur, despite the theory of Papa John McHugh. Dog Fur sheds and Dog Hair does not.
Do NOT give your dog any kind of human medicine. It can hurt your dog. If you need to clip it`s fur use another person to help hold your dog still.
Salmon oil is great for fur, skin, and nails!

To prevent harm or discomfort to your dying dog from their fur, you can regularly groom and brush them to remove any tangles or mats. This can help prevent skin irritation and discomfort. Additionally, keeping their fur clean and trimmed can also help maintain their comfort.

WELL TAKE IT TO A DOG PARLOUR AND THEY WILL CUT THE DOG'S FUR!
Well my beagle had the same problem. I talked to the vet and she said that it is actually called a reverse sneeze. It is common and harmless. I would rub my dog's throat and that seemed to help stop it.
