I have a 4 year old 100 lb. greyhound. He is a house dog and is shedding his white coat unmercifully. Any suggestions? We recently brought him to Minnesota from South Carolina. Could it be the change in climate?

100 lbs is heavy for a greyhound, wow. My greyhound is up to 68 lbs since she stopped racing and is 5 years old. I took my greyhound from Florida, to Zurich Switzerland, where I live now, and she got more hair on her stomach and a much thicker coat, not a coat that sheds....so I'd say you have some nutrition deficiency going on there...try giving omega3 fatty acids
