A hairy question

Hi all, am curious to find out...just how much hair does a lab shed (esp 5 mth old ones)? Of late, my dog seems to be shedding just a tad too much, even with regular brushing and once a week or so shampoo. Even when I just pull on a patch of fur, some of it will easily come off. Is this normal? On the whole, he looks alright though, not like he's balding or anything like that.

would apprciate any advice

thanks

lab normally shed twice a yeah........so long as ur lab still look 'normal' not need to worry about......the shedding season will last for about 2 weeks or sometime slight over 2.5 weeks.

Re: [plutus] A hairy question

as for a pup, he may shed 3 times in a year.Smile
since u mentioned that he's not BALD, then u shall see some "new & short" hair growing....
Daily brushing is recommended.

To add on, on master sifu X, Boon and Mack, if over shedding continues, it is dog food "mg ngam!"
