With Jake shedding his coat in clumps, not only did he need a return trip to his vet, but we need to replace our old vacuum. As for Jake, it amazes me that his coat is still quite thick w/ no bare spots at all. He has a medicated shampoo to try and may need to go on an elimination diet. If these things fail, it is allergy testing time.
So back to the search for a new vacuum, I have started here for product reviews.
