Some dogs shed continuously throughout their life, and others on a more seasonal or cyclical basis \u2013 this is known as moulting. Some breeds shed more than others due to the type of coat they have, and some shed considerably less to the point of being seen as <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">non-shedding dogs<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Why is my <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">dog shedding<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> or moulting?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dogs are always on some sort of seasonal cycle, changing their behaviours in line with the seasons and changes to the weather and daylight hours. Historically, it was much more obvious and there was a greater need for a \u2018winter coat\u2019, especially for working dogs that were bred for specific duties. Sledding dogs, for example, would develop a thicker coat over winter, and moult as the days got warmer in spring and summer. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These days dogs spend more time indoors, living in homes with central heating, meaning that these traditional cycles are interrupted. For many dogs this isn\u2019t too much of an issue, but some breeds, like the St Bernard, golden retriever and husky, now shed all the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How can I manage my <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">dog\u2019s shedding<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There\u2019s no way to stop your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">dog shedding<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> or moulting, but regular grooming and brushing of the coat can help keep it under control \u2013 making sure the hair is collected onto a brush rather than left all over your home. It\u2019s important to know which sort of coat your dog has so you can find the correct way to groom them:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Smooth coat \u2013 short, close to the body and requires minimal grooming. Breeds with smooth coats include the dachshund, doberman and bull terrier.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Double coat \u2013 a thick coat hidden under a thinner top coat. Double-coated dogs require fairly regular brushing to remove the moulting undercoat. Breeds include husky, German shepherd and chow-chow.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wire coat \u2013 a rough, harsh top coat with a soft coat underneath. They can be quite susceptible to matting and tangling so also need regular grooming. Breeds include most terriers and schnauzers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wool \u2013 fluffy and curly, a wool coat grows quickly, mats easily and sheds less, so requires lots of regular, even daily, grooming. Breeds include poodle and bichon frise. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Long coat \u2013 this is the most susceptible to matting and tangling which can be painful for your dog. Requires the most regular grooming, both brushing and washing. Breeds include Yorkshire terrier, shih tzu and Afghan hound.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Combination coat \u2013 due to the increased number of mixed breeds, combination coats are much more prevalent and might include elements of different coats. Common breeds include labradoodle and cockapoo.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What else can cause my dog to lose their hair?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most instances of shedding and hair loss are perfectly natural and nothing to worry about. But there are a few other reasons that could cause your dog to lose their hair that would be better checked by a vet. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Diet<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A change to diet can result in your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">dog losing hair<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Sometimes this is for good reasons \u2013 your dog is growing a new, better coat as a result of a better diet. However, it can also be a negative side-effect of their diet, caused by allergies, itching, scratching and losing hair in specific areas. We can help with that, creating a unique recipe tailored to help reduce allergic reactions and relieve <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/gb\/health\/dog-itchy-skin\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">itchy and sensitive skin<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Stress<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Stress and anxiety can lead to your dog losing hair, either all over or in specific areas of the body. It can be caused by changes to their routine or circumstances (for example, it\u2019s not uncommon for dogs to shed after moving home). This will often stop as your dog becomes more used to their new situation, but if it doesn\u2019t we recommend you speak to your vet to help alleviate the anxiety.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Parasites<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your dog may also lose hair if they have parasites, especially fleas. Some dogs are afflicted by Flea Allergic Dermatitis (FAD) and get so itchy that they start biting their hair off. It\u2019s best to get your dog checked by the vet if your dog:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">is itchy in certain areas like paws, ears, face or rump<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">has red, inflamed skin under their elbows or belly<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">has broken skin from itching which is at risk of bacterial or fungal infections<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Hormonal disease<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">dog is losing hair<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in a somewhat symmetrical manner, with the same odd hair-loss pattern on both sides of their body, this could indicate hormonal disease. Again, your vet is best to diagnose and treat. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Are there any <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">non-shedding dogs<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some breeds like poodles and bichon frises are often seen as <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">non-shedding dogs<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. It isn\u2019t strictly true as they do still shed, but a lot less than other breeds. This makes them much more suitable for those allergic to dog hair \u2013 or, to be more precise, the dander (skin cells) that can be spread by shedding hair \u2013 as less hair (and thus less dander) is left around the home or on yourself when stroking or holding your dog. For those of us with an allergy to dander, this reduced shedding really is often enough to make all the difference!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s also why they\u2019ve earned a reputation for being hypoallergenic, and why they\u2019re so commonly crossed with other breeds. Reduced shedding is a desirable trait that can be bred into mixed breeds like cavapoos, cockapoos, labradoodles and more, meaning a much wider choice of hypoallergenic dogs to suit more homes and lifestyles.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All dogs shed at some point in their lives \u2013 it\u2019s perfectly natural and usually nothing to worry about.
