Rice curd and occasional meat is an inappropriate diet for dogs. They are carnivores that need a side of vegetables or grains, not the opposite way. Excessive shedding can be caused by malnutrition, mites, fleas, skin disease, etc. I would recommend having Scooby Doo examined by a vet to see what is going on.
