My 9-year-old foster dog is suddenly losing clumps of fur. He is a male, mostly yellow lab with some shepherd markings. He has seemed fine for the past 3-4 weeks, but recently, I noticed a significant amount of hair loss after petting him. I gave him a bath, which seemed to exacerbate the shedding. His temperament is fine, he's happy, walking well, eating, and we provide healthy, all-natural food and veterinary-recommended shampoos. What could be causing this sudden shedding, and what should I do?

The sudden shedding in your foster dog could be due to normal seasonal shedding, especially for dogs...
