German Shepherds have a thick, woolly undercoat and a denser outer coat to protect them from water, weather, and dirt. Their coat lengths may vary, but most have a double coat, which also causes heavy year-round shedding, as well as “blowing coat” seasons, when they shed more heavily to adapt to the weather. Their coat is crucial for temperature regulation, and we offer a de-shedding dog shampoo to help manage German Shepherds’ double coats.
