It's normal for a pocket bully to shed, especially with seasonal changes. While they're generally low-maintenance, shedding can still occur throughout the year.
- Ensure regular grooming to manage shedding.
- Watch for any skin irritations or patches of missing fur.
- Consider seasonal allergies or diet as possible causes of excess shedding.
Managing shedding is important for your dog's comfort and health. Regular grooming can help reduce loose hair and can also alert you to any skin issues early. If you notice excessive shedding or other symptoms like itching or red spots, it may be worth consulting a vet to rule out underlying issues.
