Shedding, dandruff, blah, blah

mskc Jul 14, 2006 12:47 PM

Hi All,

I was petting Jake today when I noticed how much he is shedding, I gave him and Riker a good brushing and found it weirdly satisfying to brush up piles of hair and throw it away. I thought tonks were supposed to shed less and maybe they do, but I couldn't tell.

Also, Jake is a mink and I've noticed he has a little dandruff - he eats premium wet and dry food, so I'm wondering what I might need to do for his coat. Any thoughts? Riker probably has it too, but his coat is lighter and I can't tell.

In other news, I put in my notice at work for the end of the month and will be going to school full time for my MBA. (I've been trying to do both and it was killing me.)I'm very excited bc I am going to start a cat website business and do that part time - my office gets to be in the cats room, so I am very much looking forward to hanging out with them all day! What a blessing.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

they are so adorable!!! and not to mention, color coordinated with the couch! haha.

i thought tonks were suppose to shed less too, and when i got Rigby in Oct,he didn't really shed. however, right now, he is. maybe it's just the summer.

I have my two on Iams, and we don't have any dandruff. Also, Brushing helps release oils from the skin. i think that might help
