Why is my dog shedding a lot and has thin hair after moving to a new climate?

Question

We moved from southeast Michigan, to southeast texas. Cinder has been shedding a ton, I haven't changed her diet, she gets load more of outside time now though. But her hair is so thin now, and it's still shedding way more than she did in Michigan , is that because of the temperature change? Or something else.

Well, it certainly could just be the temperature change, but here is what I would look for. If she is itchy, any bald spots or scabs, any redness or odor to the skin. Any hair loss around the head. If you see any of these signs then I would definitely recommend an examination by a veterinarian. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
