How can you stop a puppy from shedding?
Shedding is normal, but heavy loss may come from poor grooming, poor nutrition or skin disease. Brush and bathe regularly with pet shampoo, not human. Add nutrition—egg yolk, liver, veggies and fruit—for skin and coat. If severe, see a vet for skin or endocrine disease.
What happens if a dog has internal parasites?
