My dog sheds so much every day we pretty much have to vacuum out the kennel daily. Is this normal?
Full Question:
Hi, We have a 10 month old GSD that is in the house. She has her own space in our closet where we have her crate like you did. Every day her crate floor is covered with hair, is this normal. Or can we do something to reduce the shedding in the house other than brushing. We do live in South Dakota where the temp is zero at times and she does go in and out of the house a lot during the day does the change in temp from inside to outside cause extra shedding to. Do you have to vacuum hair daily out of your dogs crate.Thanks,
Mike
Cindy's Answer:
Is she spayed? Female dogs totally blow their coat before they come into season. If she isn’t intact, then I would look at diet and add Salmon Oil and Vitamin E to her food. it can really help with shedding.
Change of temperature doesn’t usually affect the shedding that much, all of our dogs go in and out all day.
Most dogs blow their entire coat a couple of times a year, if it’s not linked to heat cycles (for example, male dogs) it’s linked to the length of days and amount of daylight.
