DOES YOUR DOG SEEM TO BE SHEDDING NONSTOP?
You’re not alone. Shedding is completely normal in most dogs, but if your home looks like a fur storm passed through, it may be time to address what’s really going on. Excessive shedding can be frustrating, but it’s often manageable with the right care—and the right products.
Let’s break down why your dog may be shedding so much, what signs to watch out for, and how to manage it at home.
What Is Considered Excessive Shedding?
All dogs shed to some extent, especially breeds with double coats like Labradors, Golden Retrievers, or German Shepherds. But excessive shedding means you're seeing constant hair loss outside of the normal seasonal cycles, or noticing bald patches, thinning coats, or itchy, irritated skin.
Common Causes of Excessive Shedding
-
Seasonal Coat Changes
Many dogs “blow their coat” in spring and fall. This is natural, but the volume can still be overwhelming if not managed. -
Poor Nutrition
A diet low in essential fatty acids, protein, or certain vitamins can lead to a brittle coat and more shedding. -
Skin Allergies or Irritations
Fleas, food sensitivities, and environmental allergens can all cause inflammation that leads to hair loss. -
Stress or Hormonal Changes
Stress from travel, moving, or even a new pet in the home can cause shedding. So can underlying thyroid or hormonal conditions. -
Lack of Grooming or Improper Bathing
Skipping regular brushing leads to matting and more shed hair. Harsh shampoos or infrequent baths can also throw your dog’s skin off balance.
How to Reduce Dog Shedding at Home
✅ Daily Brushing
Especially during shedding season, brushing helps pull loose fur before it ends up on your couch. Use a deshedding tool for double-coated breeds.
✅ Bathing With the Right Shampoo
Choose a shampoo that’s designed to support healthy skin and manage undercoat shedding.
✅ Healthy Diet
Omega-3s, quality protein, and hydration all contribute to a resilient coat.
✅ Stress Management
Exercise, enrichment, and a stable routine help keep dogs emotionally and physically balanced.
