Max the great dane loves to be scratched and massaged. unfortunately, like most danes he he sheds white fur.....a lot of fur. watch and laugh as 200 lbs max creates a snow storm of white fur while. Some danes just shed more than others and this can be an inherited genetic trait. poor thyroid levels have been known to cause excessive shedding and droopy eyes, skin, etc. my suggestion as always with bathing a dane is don't, unless there is a need to bathe, dog rolled in something stinky, dog smells, etc.. Re: very bad shedding, help! "i generally tell people danes shed twice a year - for six months at a time." hahaha! isn't that the truth! i always make a point to tell people that danes do shed quite a bit. many people are under the impression that they wouldn't just because they are short haired, but that is not true..
My great dane, 7 years old has been shedding heavily, no sign of skin problems, or bare spots, just continually - answered by a verified dog veterinarian. Great danes and other smooth coated dogs do tend to be shedders, but if its really excessive, you should improve the quality of the food the dog is eating, and take it for a checkup if that doesn't improve the situation. really excessive shedding can be indicative of other health problems.. Most great danes are good with other family pets, but some are dominant or aggressive toward other dogs of the same sex. some great danes have strong instincts to chase and seize cats and other fleeing creatures. the strong temperament. great danes are not pushovers to raise and train..
