Is my dog losing too much fur? she's a Cattle Dog....?

Question

Before I make an unnecessary vet visit, I thought I'd ask on here.

I have an australlian cattle dog, and I figure she is blowing her coat, like most dogs, I've only owned labs before and they certainly shed but it seems like my dog is shedding too much.

Is this normal for the breed? Should I look for anything in particular that I might not have noticed?

Answer 1

Is it shedding so much that you are noticing bald patches or is it an all over even type of shedding? If there are bald patches, I would go to the vet.

Answer 2

I'm sure shes fine nothing majorly wrong with her. It's the breed it sheds allot especially around this time of year. If anything there's ways to reduce shedding improvement of food can lead to less shedding giving your dog fish oil supplements can reduce shedding very much make sure to brush her out get rid of lose fur could be vitamin deficiency...I don't know what you feed her so I couldn't tell you!

Hope this helps
