My dog sheds too much for rottweiler. Pet's info: Dog | Rottweiler | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 23 days old | 9 lbs

Dr. Paula Simons · Accepted Answer

Excess shedding can be caused by poor nutrition, parasites, etc. For a puppy so young I would make sure she is being fed an appropriate diet and is free of fleas and gastrointestinal parasites. Consider consulting with your veterinarian if the shedding does not improve. Check her coat for any signs of fleas or flea dirt and have her stool checked for parasites.
