What is shedding?
While heavy shedding is breed specific there is no such thing as a non-shedding dog unless it is completely hairless! Some breeds shed seasonally while other shed all year around. Labrador Retrievers and German Shepherds are known to be prolific shedders, whereas Poodles and Bichon Frise are very light shedders but are prone to matting if not regularly brushed.Your dogs health is a major factor in determining how much of their hair falls out so if your dog is shedding an unusual amount for their breed it is worth getting them checked by the vet. For dogs with normal shedding levels, a specialised de-shedding treatment is recommended.
