Hello. As long as the shedding is even, not big patches resulting from excessive chewing or scratching, then it is probably normal. My pit seems to shed through July. Fish oil is an excellent idea. Administer daily & do not stop during the winter months & the shedding may be a little less next year. Thanks for contacting Pet/Coach.
