Hi my labrador is 2months old... Is having excessive hair fall....how should I treat this? Can I start giving it a bath? If yes what shampoo or soap should I use?

Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi

The shedding of hair is now is because of seasonal shedding If there are any patchy loss of hair then it's because of infection U can give some coat supplement Ike yafa or salmon oil twice daily And also try to comb him daily to remove the dead hair U can give bath with oatmeal content shampoos once in 10 to 15 days

Ok thanks doctor

Puppy shedding At this age you will see your puppy transition towards his adult coat, this transition will take around 6 months. Check the pups skin to see if there is any redness on the skin, pustules or dry flaky patches or if he is scratching excessively take a consultation to identify the root cause so it can be treated correctly. If the skin is healthy and there is generalized shedding you can use conditioning shampoo like episooth (after 3 months of age) and use some omega supplements like softcoat.
