My 3 year old sheds ridiculously. Is this common for the breed. I realize most dogs shed, and as the warmer weather approaches, it will increase. Hoagie sheds hair in mass abundance. The shed hairs are actually visible on him. You can see a layer on top of his coat waiting to fall off. If I pet him, head to tail, there's a small pile where my hand rests. I brush him daily (sometimes multiple times a day) with the furminator. One light run across his coat and it is full. I also use a slickeez brush and it never let's up, it keeps coming off no matter how long I brush him. I've used deshedding shampoos, sensitive skin baby wipes. I feed him earthborn hollistic unrefined smoked salmon. He's given vegan, pb and nanna, or pick of the patch Mother Hubbard "cookies". He is also given fruit based treats or dried sweet potatoes. Help!...my house is beginning to get buried.
