Dogs can shed more than normal when they are not getting proper nutrition. Start feeding your dog a high-quality nutritious dog food, and see whether his shedding lessens. Read the label on the food bag before you buy it. Nutritious food lists specific meat as the first ingredient, such as beef, chicken or lamb.
