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've seen references that shedding is timed more by the amount of daylight than temperature. But, an indoor dog doesn't really get the natural seasonal variation, so will shed in off cycles, or continuously. My 10yr old Aussie has just started to blow his coat, judging by the sudden increase in hair clumps all over the house. Time to get out the brush!
