First of all, there is no need to be particularly nervous. We must first determine whether the Golden Retriever Shedding is a partial or full body. Localized shedding is often the result of parasites or skin diseases, and you need to promptly seek the help of your local veterinarian.
1. Infection of Parasites
If the golden retriever is infected with parasites, it will feel itchy skin, bit its itchy part to relieve the itch, naturally be ripped off a lot of hair.

2. Suffering from Skin Disease
Golden Retriever gets dermatitis, and fungal infectious skin disease will appear serious shedding. This situation should be promptly rubbed on the dog with some anti-inflammatory skin medicine while keeping the dog’s skin and fur dry to avoid further expanding the diseased skin area. It is best to send it to the vet to see the treatment for a dog with serious skin disease.
3. Error Bathing
Error bathing refers to two ways. One is to the golden retriever bathing too often, resulting in the golden retriever’s surface protective oil layer is destroyed, the hair becomes easy to shed. The second is the golden retriever bathing with human bath products, resulting in the golden retriever shedding. Therefore, it is recommended that pet owners generally give their kids a bath every 2 weeks (depending on how much they play outside, how much they play with other dogs, and how much they swim.) It is better to use a professional dog shampoo.
4. Eat Too Salty
Dog can’t eat too salty food, and human food is not suitable. Dogs eat too salty, for their kidney function and skin health have a bad impact. Like the Golden Retriever ate a relatively high salt food, it is easy to appear shedding. It is recommended that Golden Retriever choose to eat light and low salt, containing deep-sea fish oil dog food is better.
