I have a four month old Jack Russell puppy - "Jazz" and over the last few weeks I have noticed she has started to shed a lot of dog hair -she has no bald patches nor does she seem to be in any way uncomfortable or worried. Her diet has never changed, she is bathed once or twice a month, and I brush her a couple of times a week She is kept indoors but she has access to a large garden when-ever she wants and she is walked twice a day..I can`t understand why there hair is everywhere... why is this and how long will this last????

YOUR DOG IS PERFECTLY NORMAL...

Hello Sharon,

Your dog is basically an indoor dog and had really not developed a thicker winter coat. The coat that she does have is now shedding.
Just comb her every other day and bath every month and a half and she should be fine.

Hope this helps,
