Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If there is no itchiness involved, this is likely normal variation of her coat and will possibly improve on its own. If at any point she seems to be itchy, have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment. Good luck and have a good day!
