| Hair Shedding Hello, Izzy's hair seems to be shedding. I know yorkies are known for not shedding. When I comb his hair it comes out and when I hold him, little hairs are all over my clothes. Could it be his diet? Im feeding him Solid Gold Wee Bits. I havent fed him home cooked food in a few weeks because I've been so busy with work and traveling. Any thoughts? Maybe I need to give him a supplement?
