Is My Dog Shedding Too Much? When to See a Groomer
All dogs shed, but how much is too much? While seasonal shedding is natural, excessive fur loss might signal it’s time for a grooming session—or a closer look at your dog’s health.
Understanding Normal vs Excessive Shedding
Shedding is part of a healthy hair cycle, especially for double-coated breeds. But if you’re finding fur piles around the house or noticing bald spots, it could be more than just the season.
Common Causes of Heavy Shedding
- Breed type: Huskies, Retrievers, and Shepherds shed more by nature.
- Weather changes: Shedding increases during spring and fall.
- Diet and allergies: Poor nutrition or sensitivities can cause hair loss.
- Stress: Anxiety or sudden changes can lead to shedding spikes.
- Infrequent grooming: Skipping brush-outs causes fur build-up and mats.
Signs It’s Time to See a Groomer
- Noticeable loose fur on floors, furniture, and clothes
- Your dog’s coat looks dull or feels greasy
- Matted fur or clumps forming in common areas (neck, legs, tail)
- Your dog scratches often or seems uncomfortable
- Brushing at home doesn’t help anymore
