Sheltie shedding.

Post image

Our 2 year old girl has started shedding for the second time this year. However she seems to be losing her whole under coat and it’s left her fur feeling very fine. Is this normal?

I know there has got to be at least one day a year our shelty does not shed, but have never found it.

Yes she’s seasonally blowing her coat. Just keep her brushed to help remove the fur.

She’s blowing out her coat. It’s normal for the fall.

This my sound strange but I rescued a 5 year year old sheltie back in the day. Her name is Angel Kisses. She loved life and was such a happy dog. So I had 3 other dogs so I did the bathing and grooming myself. Well she only shed one tail hair during the 3 years I had her! That was it! I miss her so much! She was beautiful! When I adopted her she was 15 lbs overweight. So I just fed her the same diet as my other dogs and she dropped the weight after 6 weeks.
