Shedding is the body’s natural process of getting rid of dead hair and old hair coat to make way for the growth of new hairs. Different breeds of dogs vary in the volume of hair that is shed, however many shed off large volumes of hair during spring as the weather gets warmer. Shedding during this time is the dog’s way of shedding off their heavy winter coat.

Shedding in dogs can also be brought about by other important causes such as the presence of mites and other external parasites, hormonal imbalance, stress, some types of cancer, autoimmune disease, and skin infections. Lacks of grooming and poor nutrition are also important causes of shedding in dogs. If excessive shedding is caused by diet that lacks essential nutrients, change your dog’s diet to one that is of premium quality and is appropriate for his life stage. There are also skin and coat supplements that you can ask from your vet clinic Olathe KS.
