Blowing his coat

Is it normal for a dog to blow his coat in the winter, Indi has always lost it yr round , more so in spring but it is really coming out, just wondered if i need to worry ?

Well Cheri, no in fact we turned it down cos we finally had the Cavity wall insulation fitted, and the house was baking, maybe thats it, god i can be dense sometimes. Rolling Eyes

Phoenix is losing a bit , but even in Spring he doesnt shed anywhere near as much as Indi. he retains his coat quite well considering , which i think is why we keep him on the lean side , that and his joints.

I was just getting worried , he is my special first and he is 7 now, overprotective mummy syndrome kickin in . flower

I think it is normal. My dog does that to on winter days. Is it severe?
