I have a question about…excessive shedding
My 6 1/2 yr.old Black Lab Service Dog is shedding worse than ever.Has eaten Nature’s Balance kibble for 5 yrs. Takes Vitamin E supplement 800 mg, daily. Is brushed regularly.Vet check up in April 2011 was perfect. Gets bathed professionally every 4 weeks, using hypo allergenic oatmeal shampoo, conditioner.Groomer says his skin is very dry. Sometimes has dandruff. He has allergies -takes OTC eyedrops that help.Hair is EVERYWHERE -comes out by the handsful just sitting still . ANY SUGGESTIONS ?

Addressing the allergy with testing by Heska Laboratories and treating with their desensitization serum may help. We also use hemp oil supplementation for the dry skin. Though you have used the same diet for many years, you may find a more restrictive hypo-allergenic diet helpful, such as a salmon and potato diet.
