    I would suggest trimming her hair. I have this problem with my long haired cat, so I just trim the fur around her bum.

    Thanks for the great signature Kay!

    I also trimmed Kai's hair. It still gets dirty sometimes but it's not as bad anymore.

    We do the same with Piddle's(shih-tzu) fur around the bum. It usually stays very clean if we keep it trimmed

    My Wilbur has this problem. We trim his "bum" hair usually ever 4-8 weeks.

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    At work we do what's called a "poop chute." It's just cutting the hair under and around the bum.

    i do that for my toy poodle mix. but now i just keep all her hair short, because since she is a mix her hair isn't all that curly when its long.

    Cute! At my work we call it a "poopie trail". I keep Bitsy, my pomeranian's butt trimmed for the same reason.
