Most likely, you will not be able to prevent shedding, especially if your dog is a larger breed with a double coat, such as a Labrador Retriever, or German Shepherd Dog. Feed you dog the highest quality dog food you can afford and make sure to get one that is appropriate for his current life stage, puppy, adult, mature. If he is shedding excessively, this could indicate some kind of skin condition that should be examined by your veterinarian so that it can be diagnosed and treated.
