Seasonal Shedding vs. Excessive Shedding:

Shedding is a natural process for dogs, where they lose old or damaged hair, which we call shedding. A healthy dog will naturally shed its hair (also known as "coat shedding"—which usually occurs seasonally), but when shedding becomes excessive, there may be an underlying issue causing it. Some breeds shed more than others, and you may notice that in spring and sometimes during fall, your thick-coated dog may shed. Most often, the undercoat is the most shed, along with some of the natural coat. For cosmetic help in reducing excessive shedding, pet owners should frequently brush their pets using high-quality grooming tools. However, daily brushing is just a quick cosmetic fix; the underlying issue should be identified and addressed.

If you feel that your pet is experiencing excessive shedding, it is best to consult a veterinarian to determine the cause. If your pet shows signs of skin irritation, dry and brittle hair, open sores, bald spots, or thinning coat, or excessive hair pulling, it is time to see the veterinarian. These issues may result from poor nutrition from its diet, stress and anxiety, or an undiagnosed medical problem that requires attention. Many commercial pet foods can cause allergies or sensitivities in your pet, so you may need to try several brands to find the best one for your dog or cat. Excessive shedding may also be caused by the following issues:

• Hormonal imbalances
• Excessive licking causing hot spots and/or inflamed lesions
• Medicines
• Pregnancy
• Sunburn
• Flea or tick bites or parasites (mange mites, dermatitis, alopecia, etc.)
• Immune issues or kidney, liver, adrenal, or thyroid diseases
• Food or environmental allergies
• Fungal and/or bacterial infections
• Other environmental irritants your pet comes into contact with: shampoo, soap, household chemicals, or even a new dog bed.

Shed-X™ Dietary Supplement for Dogs:

Years ago, before factories began producing dog food in cartons, dogs lived by hunting.
