Hair Eating Problem

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Poodle Support Group : One Thread

My rather large "toy" poodle has a nasty habit of eating hair. He even pulls the hair off my shedding Chow mix. I have two Chow mix outdoor dogs. I the poodle(Sporty) out often to play with the other two dogs. Since they both have that Chow coat, they shed. I try to brush them often and keep the patio swept. But, still Sporty will find any little hair anywhere. He throws up hair balls and has a hard time with "No. 2" since it's full of hair. Aside from catching him and using the Bad Dog can(soda can with coins, is there anything I can do??

Have you tried using a basket muzzle? That type will allow the dog to still thorw up and drink but not get anything in it's mouth.
