I brush her every day, she goes swimming almost every day and she gets premium food.
C.C.'s mom,
Swimming is not the same as bathing. The massage of the lather of shampoo is what does it along with the vigorous brushing associated in blow drying. Swimming would be about the same as a human just getting their hair wet and not using a shampoo. This would get pretty ucky for me since I tend to have oily hair. I shampoo every day or every other day.

What food do you feed her? Some foods claim to be premium but if you read the ingredient list they are no better than a cheaper food.

I only ask because I am very familiar with Goldens shedding 24x7 in my earlier Goldens. I have been a Golden owner for over 25 years now. Once I became educated on allergies and the correlation to food and shedding, it was amazing how quickly it stopped.

Most people think of allergies as sneezing, watery eyes, etc. However, this is not the common way of manifesting itself in a canine. Poor coat, lack of shine, excessive shedding, hot spots, constant scratching or biting are signs of a food allergy. They can be signs of other problems too but food allergies is usually the culprit.
