She sheds hair year round all the time big clumps of hair 2 please help me!

Answers:

Both the Bulldog and the Pekingese shed a lot so that's why she is shedding so much. What food are you feeding her? Feeding her a high quality kibble like Innova or Canidae may help with the shedding. How often do you bathe her? Bathing a dog more than four times per YEAR will cause excess shedding and skin problems.

Im guessing itsthe pekenese in her, they have long coats, and shed. Daily brushing will help prevent matting on the hair and cut down on shedding around the house. You could also have her clipped at the groomers, to cut down on the shedding.

talk to your vet about it maybe she is not getting the right vitimins in her food

if it's warm in your home than she will shed all year.

it's probably more noticeable with the type of fur she has.

if it's big clumps. time to take her to the vet i think.

you may want to change the food you give her.

i've had dogs get what looks like allergies, with short hair coming out. the vet gave me hydrocortisone to put on the areas the fur had come out.

it can be the food causing a reaction.

some vets say it's an allergy to fleas in the summer. without even checking for them. but i'd go with the diet not suiting her.

keep her well groomed too. or take her to be groomed.

There are many reasons why this happen - there is actually a great article written on excessive shedding at DogChannel.com - these are the authors of Dog Fancy magazine. Ive included the link to the article in the reference link below.
