Keep her OUT of the kitchen!
That will reduce the hairs in yer food.
I’ve got a Kenmore Pet Powermate - works really well.
You have to vacuum every day to keep on top of the
flying fur.
I would keep her out of the kitchen except it is the only reasonable place to feed her, and is also the easiest room to clean.
No magic solutions, not that I thought there were, but lots of helpful suggestions and good humor here...
They are differently bred, so each has a different kind of coat and sheds differently. The oldest is half field, half conformation, has a true outer coat and undercoat, and she blows her coat in the spring and otherwise hardly sheds enough to notice. The middle one is all field, granddaughter of a particular NAFC/NCFC who threw an odd coat for a Lab - a slick outer coat and NO undercoat at all. She sheds a little bit all the time, but since there's no undercoat it doesn't fly all around. The youngest has a thick plush undercoat and a thin outer coat, she sheds gobs in the spring and fall and some all year round.
Solution: (1) Furminator once a week while the shedding's going on (2) a good vacuum, vacuum floors 2-3 times a week (3) as little carpet as you can get away with - we have wood in the kitchen, foyer, dining room & tile in the baths and laundry. That helps.
I just got a Dyson pet brush attachment which seems to work very well. It's like a slicker brush (wire) but when you release a little button the wires retract and WHOOSH! all the hair goes down the vacuum. My oldest Lab is not real keen on the idea yet, but with some treats I think she'll go for it.
I don't have a Dyson vacuum but would like to get one. The 20% BBB coupon sounds like a good idea.
