Understanding Seasonal Shedding
Household pets, particularly cats and dogs, naturally shed their winter coats while they prepare for the warmer months. This process is known as seasonal shedding, and their coats will become lighter, similar to how humans change their wardrobes for the summer months. While it is a normal occurrence, excessive shedding can sometimes indicate underlying health issues such as allergies, poor diet, or skin conditions. If you see signs of excessive shedding, it may be prudent to consult with your veterinarian.
