I agree, you should go to the vet and ask if there is something wrong with your dog, just to make sure.

i think it could be a sign our poor nuturition, go to the vet and find out.

I think it's just natural for them to shed their fur. All you can do is feed them well so that the replacing fur will be fuller and healthier.

I'm pretty sure there are certain foods with proteins that keep a dog from shedding, but your dog might just have a ton of extra fur.

I think it becomes a problem once the dog looks like it's fur is getting too thin or scrappy.

Regular bathing and brushing will decrease the shedding. Also not getting the proper nutrition can cause excess shedding.

I have this same issue with my German/Australian shepherd mix. We made a move and ever since she has shed non stop. I was just told about a device that is suppose to help I will post about it once I try it out and let you know if it is worth it.
