Shedding...a LOT, normal?
I have an american bulldog mix (probably boxer in there too) and she sheds...A LOT. I know spring is coming but its been consistent since we got her in November and for the past month-2 months its been awful. She has short hair and it literally is on every surface of my house, she gets brushed outside probably 2 times a week and I vacuum everyday. We have the furminator and its insane how much hair comes out. I am about to change her food to a higher quality one...its probably 2 x the cost of what she has now and am slowing working it into her diet..does anyone thing the food change would help? Ive heard that. it can effect the shedding....If it doesnt oh well, I guess shes just a shedder and I need to clean that much more but I was curious b/c she's healthy (regular vet checks are always ok) and a short haired dog. Thoughts?
