Expert Answer

Heavy shedding relates to coat change, wrong bathing, poor nutrition, or skin disease. At 5-6 months they shed puppy coat, then yearly in March-May and September-November; just brush more.

Human shampoo causes heavy shedding, so stop it. Poor nutrition needs rich food plus fish oil, lecithin, vitamins. Localized heavy shedding suggests skin disease needing a scraping test and treatment.
