Would anyone happen to have any advice on how to handle excessive shedding? My pet and I are making so much of a mess of the apartment right now that I can hardly keep up with cleaning it all.

[ He doesn't actually consider his Arcanine like a "pet" but he has no other real way of knowing what else to call his Pokemon without it leading to questions. ]

I'm also wondering if it's supposed to be limited to fur or if shedding includes losing normal hair for Moonblessed.

[ Please say it's just because of the fur and his body is confusing one for the other. He doesn't want to hear that he's shedding AND balding. ]

One of the guys I know who sheds a lot has a little machine in his apartment. It helps with picking up stray fur.

What kind of animal do you turn into? Shedding is normal especially during the spring. It won't make you bald unless you're sick.

Would it be the roomba I'm discussing currently with another person? I do have a vacuum at hand but it tends to end up emptied on a frequent basis. I also currently have to take care of laundry every day during my particular moonphase since the fur and hair ends up on my blankets and pillow.

I turn into a fox. If it's seasonal changes that would make a lot of sense, I just didn't expect it to be so much and to coincide with my pet's shedding as well.

Yeah...a roomba.

[SHE THINKS AT LEAST it's not like she notices it much anymore.]

If you're a fox then it's just that canines tend to shed a lot. What kind of animal is your pet? Are they a canine too? Then that's double the fur.

I think a roomba is your best bet. Even if you have to empty it out frequently, it's probably the only easy option besides ignoring your fur and dealing with a pile up. Shedding season is a huge pain...in school fur would get all over the dorms even when everyone did their best to groom themselves. Large canines shed the worst of any animal, I find.

Yes, we're both canines. Or I am temporarily canine while my pet is essentially always canine.

[ Duh. Of course Arcanine isn't expressly mentioned to be a dog but it's name is Arcanine. Not hard to make the connection regardless. ]

I wasn't aware they shed so excessively, so this is good information to have, thank you!

I'm not sure how to say this without potentially offending you, so I'm very sorry if I do.

You're an animal, yes? I mean naturally an animal. From a world where everyone is animals?
