We have a 14 year old lab. We have done Florida at Christmas last 5 years. This year we did not take him. But he is shedding in Jan-Feb. Does this screwup him up? We live in Michigan
I don't think it's terribly early for spring shedding to start, but it's also (IMO) highly unlikely that having spent previous winters in Florida is affecting his shed cycle this year. There are several medical issues that can cause hair loss, so I'd keep my eyes open for anything else unusual going on.
