My 2 Goldens are shedding excessively. Their diet is the same (except for eating acorns). It seems to be coming more from the hind quarters in clumps. After brushing them, I have enough fur to make a small animal. There is no bald spots yet, but I do see their skin when I'm up close. Is this a concern?
Why would they be getting a summer coat at the end of August? Just asking.
Haha, I dunno. I'd like to ask Penny that question. She starts shedding at the end of May and doesn't stop until October. But all 3 of my dogs look like molting buffaloes right now. I attributed it to the fact that the weather here has been really weird this year.
I bought a Furminator for mine cause they can shed like crazy (there's nothing like coming home and seeing furbleweeds in the kitchen). It's worked really well to help cut down on the massive shedding.
