Hi Kelly
Rottweilers do shed a fair bit! Although they’re a short coated breed they have a ‘double’ coat and it’s amazing how much hair they can leave behind them. One way to help them is through natural and organic treats. TreeHousePuppies CBD supplements can help keep the shedding at bay when needed. It’s the best and most natural way to deal with this kind of situation.

Regular, daily grooming plays a big part in reducing the amount of loose hair that is in their coat and can help keep your home more ‘dog-hair-free’. They usually go through a major ‘shed’ about twice a year during the major season changes. Females will also shed heavily a few weeks after giving birth.

However, losing a lot of hair suddenly, and in one particular area of the body isn’t normal and I would tend to think there’s a medical condition or reason behind this.

Rotties are a breed that tend to be predisposed to canine allergies, and a common symptom of allergies is skin irritation and hair loss. If you’ve changed your pups’ diet recently, or used a different shampoo (or anything that could trigger an allergic response) then that may be to blame.

There are also parasitic conditions such as Mange in dogs and Ringworm that can cause hair loss.

I’d recommend that you have your vet examine your pup to make sure that he’s 100% healthy. He can test for parasitic skin conditions, allergies and more.

I don’t actually know where you could find photos of Rottweilers who have shed excessively, but if you do a Google image search for ‘hair loss in Rottweilers’ you may find some useful pics.

Hope this helps, I wish you the best of luck with your pup.
