My Teddy had/has what I would call a rash as well. My vet said it is an allergy (he does occasionally lick his paws also) - at first he thought it was a food allergy but it would go away when the spring rains came. It appears to be related to molds and dust mites instead. I give him salmon oil (not the pills but the real oil), freeze his kibble, regularly clean his blankets etc., and give him oatmeal shampoo baths when it really acts up. I also use dermacton cream if his skin gets too dry. We seem to have it under control.
4 mo old shedding

my puppy is shedding, and i was just wondering if that was normal…i had heard that puppy do not shed at all....and it's not real bad but if i pick him up i'll have lots of white hair on me. i live in las vegas nevada and it is starting to get pretty hot out here so could that be why?

He may be changing from puppy coat to adult coat. Puppy coat is soft and a little fuzzy, adult coat is smoother, and a little more coarse.

Dallas is shedding his pupy coat & he's just about 5 months old now. There is hair everywhere!!!! LOL

The only part that is true is "no" doggy odor…
