With Spring approaching and the weather changing, expect an increase in shedding as Jasmine loses her winter coat. You can brush her daily to minimize shedding. A fish oil supplement may promote healthy skin and coat. Monitor for excessive licking, scratching or chewing of the cost. Monitor also for redness or patchy hair loss. These are symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian.
