So I searched here for posts on shedding and combing and I'm a little confused by what I found. Basically Cloud, who is a little over 2 (I think) sheds like crazy. It does not appear to be seasonal because he's been doing it steadily for somewhere upwards of 6 months. He did not do this when I first got him and it started before we moved, so it's not moving stress. He doesn't have skimpy hair or mats or rumpled patches or bald patches, he looks perfectly normal, there's just hair everywhere. Maybe he's just a shedder? So I wanted to try combing him to remove some of the loose hair, but the recommendations on combing are pretty varied. I wanted to ask, should I try it, would it even work, what comb should I use and how's it done?
