We have spring now and your dog likely is in the middle of a seasonal shed. This should get less as the season progresses. You can help her by combing and brushing her often, at least once a day. Do it outside or in a place where you can easily vacuum up the hair. Regular combing and brushing helps with getting rid of loose hair, itch and massages the skin, which is healthy.
