Dogs shed to drop out their old coat and make room for the new hair growth. Even though shedding is a natural process it can be a sign of other things. Many dogs shed because of stress. A low quality diet can contribute to hairloss. There can also be medical reasons that contribute. Hormones, diet, Allergies, less daylight and colder temperatures can cause changes in a dog's coat. Dogs tend to shed more in the spring. If you notice excessive scratching, flaky skin, oily skin; or change in body weight or behaviour, have your dog checked by a vet. Daily brushing to remove the undercoat and loose hairs will help. You can also give your dog more Omega 3 & 6 oils to promote coat & skin health.
