Miki is a big shedder. She is a shorthair and when I pet her, a lot of hair comes away into my hand. Its like its raining hair with each stroke. I changed thier food a long time ago to Nutro. They eat only dry food at this point and I'll occasionally feed them wet Nutro. They get a treat (or two) a day. Anything I can do for the shedding. I'd comb her everyday, but she hates being groomed and doesn't like to sit still for it.
