If all else fails, a thyroid panel might be needed– but typically that is more base of and tail area, all-over etc.
Shedding like crazy
-
Never has Seren shedded like she is now. I brush her 3-4 times a day with a mit and it is always full of hair. My bedspread is black and she sleeps with us, it is covered in hair which I have to remove daily. Is anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions?

Zak is also shedding like crazy.
He always blows his coat in February and occassionally in the summer,but usually not until Sept. I highly recommend the Furminator - it works great! -
Whats a furminator please ?
-
It is a de-shedding tool

Thanks for the link Pat, i think i might get one for our big dog, he sheds all year round. In spring i put his fur out in a wire bird bread holder and they take it for nests.

Is it hotter than normal in FL this year? That seems a lot of shedding. Not much shedding here in Nor Cal as weather is mild this year. When I first got Buddy 2 months ago he had a lot of hair come off when brushed but that was because he never got brushed being a rescue. Now hardly anything comes off when I use the curry comb or flea comb. I'll have to check out that furminator as Buddy has a thick and course coat.

Boy do i feel your pain. But we did this in March. It was AWFUL! hair everywhere. I bought my son a pet vac and he keeps it in his room to vac his bed about every day. It is much better. We got a zoomgroom too. he uses it when he gives the dogs a shower once a week. Our tri is a lot worse than the r/w.

Pet smart and petco. sell both the zoom groom and the furminator

Mine have always shed in the spring but they have been shedding like crazy this month. I don't know what's going on but it sure is weird.

I just bought a furminator and it really works great! It's getting that underneath stuff a regular comb/brush can't.

I bought a Furminator and it works great. I also bought the shampoo and daily spray. I also read an article which advises useing lanolin or a bit of olive oil on the coats of dogs that shed a lot. After several days it is supposed to help with the shedding.
