skycat 6,174 Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Dogs which are neutered, or those which are being fed incorrectly (cheap cereal based foods for one) can be prone to excessive and continual moulting. Anything (stress included) which lowers the overall state of health can affect the coat, and dogs which are in less than top condition may struggle to moult out correctly at the right times of year, which gives the impression that they are moulting continuously as the process takes so much longer than in a properly fed, contented and healthy animal.

She gets the same as my other lurcher bitch, do you think her requirements in her diet differs from the other bitch, she's not stressed, she's not carrying excessive weight and she's well exercised so I can only put it down to dietry issues?

skycat 6,174 Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Just like some people cannot cope with certain types of food, so are dogs the same. Just because one dog is OK on a particular brand of food, doesn't mean to say that the other is. Might not be food, but worth considering. I've got one lurcher whose coat is crap if she is fed on anything with wheat or soya in it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
