my dog has been shedding at a ridiculous rate lately, and i'm not sure why? he usually sheds quite a bit in the spring, but not so much the fall. he appears healthy, doesn't have any skin irritations or anything that would seem to be the cause of his hair loss. he is not for lack of hair by any means, but it just seems strange. any ideas?
Why is my dog losing his hair?
A lot of things can cause a dog to lose his hair - being sick, being stressed, diet, hormone imbalances, skin infections, and the list goes on and on.
It could just be normal shedding as the winter coat comes in. If he doesn't have any bald spots and he is still acting fine - I'd just watch him for a few days.
If it is something that is really worrying you, or he starts to act differently, scratch more, stop eating, etc. - you'll need to take him to a vet.
