If all her hair is falling out in clumps and she is going bald, you should take her to the vet to make sure it's not a medical issue.

i am feeding her natural choice. i have switched from that to IAMs, to a few others to see if that helps. it doesnt really. she is a year old and spayed. i never really noticed it when she was a puppy, but now shes older its very noticeable. i think i will give the fish oil a try. she literally sheds clumps of hair. i can just pull out clumps of hair. not that i try, but she sheds that much.

I can easily tell several weeks before she goes into heat because she will shed like crazy, just an amazing amount. How old is your girl and is she spayed?

fish oil is an excellent source, so is flax oil. What kind of food are you feeding? Daily brushing will go a long way, and a furminator works exceptionally well, but it's not for daily long term ues.

when she first came home

I have pugs that really really shed. I belong to a pug board that suggested the missing link to help with shedding.
asked my vet about it and she says it really does help
the missing link
so my guys will be getting started on it

I also use a furminator..
and that really helps too

Bella the bulldog is not a shedder at all
Gus is more of a shedder but only in the summer..

i give Remi fish oil pills, the same ones that i take, daily, and i've noticed his shedding slow a bit. plus its just good for them anyway.

is it a suplement especially for dogs... I don't mean to be dumb, but I don't know much (read, NOTHING) about supplements...
I would LOVE to reduce Chloe's shedding...

Do you have her on an omega supplement?
what type of food are you feeding her?

I started giving Stella an omega supplement and it decreased the shedding by 90%.

I also bathe her once in a while, usually every 3-4 weeks and that helps get some of the excess off, and then a good brushing helps too.

Is her coat brittle and dry? Is she itchy? Give her a bath and try the supplements. I bathe my dogs every week in summer and every two weeks in winter. It removes dead hair and they feel soft and don't shed much. I use Chlorhexiderm Shampoo which is soap free and mild enough to use daily if needed.

Baths are not only good for removing dead hair, they also give you a chance to look over your dog and feel for any unusual lumps or bumps or sores in creases or folds and between toes and under pads.
