jan Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 HI, I own a 9 year old male. This last week his fur has been falling out. I have brushed him and its non stop fur flying. Advise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greysmom Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 It's definitely shedding season. And it's a myth that greyhounds don't shed. Keep brushing and the undercoat should be gone in a week or two. If he's a BIG shedder, you may see some very thin areas, or even down to the skin on his belly and thighs. If the skin is crusty or very dry or itchy get in to see your vet, otherwise he should be fine. The fur may or may not come back when the weather gets cold again.

cleptogrey Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 a good bath always kicks in heavy duty shedding- so, treat yourself to a grooming. remember to tell them NO HAIR DRYER. GH can't take the heat. have his nails done and then get a grooming mitt- ask the groomer and go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyRunDog Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Adding a salmon oil suppliment to his food will also help to keep his coat and skin in good condition but I only add half the recommended amount as it can make their poo soft/runny.
