Do Shiba Inus shed?

Yes, Shiba Inus shed heavily twice a year and more moderately throughout the rest of the year. Shedding is a natural process for these double-coated dogs. While Shiba Inus may not be as prone to excessive shedding as some other breeds, they do require routine grooming, including brushing, to keep their coat healthy and minimize shedding around the home by removing loose hair and preventing mats.
