Seasonal shedding in dogs is completely normal, especially as temperatures change. Many dogs will 'blow their coat' in spring to prepare for warmer weather and again in autumn for their winter coat. The amount of shedding varies significantly by breed; double-coated breeds typically shed more. Regular brushing during these periods can help manage the loose fur, prevent mats, and promote healthy skin. If the shedding is accompanied by bald patches, skin irritation, excessive itching, or changes in coat texture, it could indicate an underlying health issue like allergies, parasites, or a hormonal imbalance, and warrants a vet visit.
