The amount of shedding that is normal can vary from one breed to another. Keep in mind that every breed, aside from American hairless terriers, will shed at least a little, so seeing hair on your floors, furniture, or clothes is a fact of life when you own a pup. If you just see these hairs on items around your house throughout the year, but don’t see lots of excess fur on your dog’s body, it isn’t a sign of concern.
Some breeds also go through a shedding season or two. During these shedding seasons, typically in the spring and/or fall, dogs may shed more than normal. If your dog is going through a shedding season, it is typical to see more hair coming off.
What is not normal, however, is seeing patches or splotches of missing hair on your dog’s body. If you notice any bald spots on your dog, it may indicate a larger issue that needs to be addressed, and you should schedule an appointment with your dog’s vet. They may recommend a diet change.
