Shedding

[Jessika]

My pups didn't start really shedding until they were a little older and shedding their puppy coat for their adult coat. A good diet and FREQUENT brushing will help alleviate the problem a LOT.

It is also leading in to fall... which is shedding season!! My pups are getting ready to blow coat... this will be fun..

EDIT: To help with shedding look for foods rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids (google the term if you aren't sure and look for foods containing ingredients such as flaxseed, sunflower oil, etc, those are a few examples).

grooming (constantly) and feeding quality food will help.

thank you for your advice and ill pass it on to him. and as far as finances we work in the coal mines and we're not rich but we do pretty well considering where we live. so if anyone has any ideas other than brushing which is probably the only way just let me know.
