What's happening now and how to properly care for your skin

The shedding season for dogs is a completely natural process that usually occurs in the spring and fall. Many dogs shed a particularly large amount of hair during this time. What many people don’t realize is that it’s not just the coat, but especially the skin that is under a lot of stress right now and needs some extra care.

Common symptoms of seasonal shedding in dogs:

• Excessive hair loss lasting several weeks
• Dry or flaky skin
• Frequent scratching or restlessness
• Sensitive, sometimes reddened areas of skin
• The coat looks dull instead of shiny
• Loose undercoat gets caught in the coat

Since the skin is particularly sensitive during this phase, it’s important to take action early to prevent skin problems.

Dog Shedding: Causes—Why Their Skin Is So Sensitive Right Now

When dogs shed their coats, their bodies adjust to the new season. As daylight hours increase and temperatures rise, the skin begins to shed old hair and grow new hair at the same time. This is hard work for the skin.

This can quickly throw the skin's natural balance off kilter.

Common causes of problems during the shedding season:

• The skin is working overtime and loses moisture more quickly as a result.
• The skin's protective layer becomes more sensitive because new hair is constantly growing back.
• Loose hairs can further irritate the skin if they are not removed.
• A dry climate or heated air can make dryness and itching worse.
• The body needs more nutrients to grow a healthy new coat.

That is why many dogs experience itching, dry skin, or minor irritations during this time.
