More and more dog lovers are emerging worldwide nowadays. The editor also believes dogs are humans’ best friends, and we should take good care of them. Many beginners have recently started getting into dogs. Newcomers might have several unknowns, such as paying attention to the breed and shedding amount when buying a dog. So today, the editor will talk about one type of dog: how much does a Labrador shed?

People who have raised dogs surely know that shedding is indeed a headache for countless dog owners. Especially some large breeds shed a lot, with certain shedding seasons during spring, autumn, and summer being particularly troublesome. But do not worry, as a breed most suitable for family life, Labradors do not shed a lot during normal times. Because their fur is short and mostly quite coarse. So naturally, shedding is not too severe.

However, during spring and autumn shedding seasons, they will still shed. Only during this period will their hair fall much more, and the owner needs to regularly clean up the shed hair and groom the dog’s coat. It should be known that normal shedding in Labradors is a metabolic phenomenon and nothing to worry about. If you don’t want your home to be full of dog hair and messy, you can use a brush to remove the loose hair from your dog every day.

But be careful not to use wooden or too hard brushes as they can harm the dog. Here the editor also reminds everyone that Labradors should not eat too much salt; excessive salt intake will worsen shedding. If your Labrador is currently in its shedding period, remember not to feed it overly salty food. Give it more vitamins, fruits, and vegetables to supplement nutrition. Otherwise, your home will become a mess. But overall, Labradors are quite good. Their shedding does not last too long or amount to too much, making them quite suitable for family raising compared to other dogs.
