Yellowdog Grooming

Dogs naturally lose old or damaged hair by shedding. Although shedding is a normal process for dogs, the amount and frequency of hair that is shed often depends upon their health and breed type. It can also depend on the season, many dogs develop thick coats in the winter that are then shed in the spring.

Your dog's skin is an indication of their overall health. When a skin problem occurs, your dog may respond with excessive scratching, chewing and/or licking. A wide range of causes, including external parasites, infections, allergies, metabolic problems and stress, or a combination of these may be affecting your dog's skin.
