Spitz are amazing and extremely fluffy dogs that sometimes look just like fluffy teddy bears.

But all that fluff has a cost - sometimes Spitz dogs shed a lot, and it might disappoint or even scare their owners.

Let's find out why these dogs can sometimes shed a lot.

Seasonal Shedding

Spitz dogs often shed their fur more in certain seasons, like spring and fall. 

This is because they are getting rid of their winter coat to make way for a lighter summer coat.

Temperature Regulation

The double coat helps them stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer, but it means they have a lot of fur to manage.

Natural Process

Shedding is a natural process for dogs. It helps get rid of old or damaged fur and keeps their coat healthy.

Genetics

Different dog breeds shed differently based on their genetics, and Spitz breeds happen to have a heavy-shedding coat.

Conclusion

So, if you have a Spitz dog, be prepared for regular shedding and make sure to brush their fur to help manage it. 

This helps keep their coat and your home cleaner.
