Labs do shed lots of hair. You will have to give Fish Oil which ofcourse contains Omega 3. This makes its bones stronger as well as keeping the dog generally healthy.
Brush it every day and keep the area clean.
Take it out for walks, but do not overdo it. It takes a long time for Labradors to get their bones stronger.
But all said and done, they are one of the finest breeds in the world today.
If you are a dog lover and fond of an extremely affectionate breed, you have got one.
They are fond of drenching in the rains. They love good food.
Do please look after the pup well, it deserves a good owner.
Best Wishes.

There are many reasons your dog is shedding excessively.

If this is severe or persists even during non shedding seasons, you should take your dog to a vet asap as this could be a sign of serious medical problem (most notably, thyroid condition).

If your vet says it's normal shedding, then try adding a tablespoon of brewer's yeast (not active baker's yeast) to your dog's food and a good canine multivitamin.The yeast provides vitamin B complexes that keep its coat healthy and helps prevent many problems with rashes, mange, flea allergy, etc.

Finally, you should groom your dog at least once a day with a brush designed for this purpose. From personal experience, the best one you can get online can be found here:

Dog shedding hairs is a common problem in all pet dogs.The dogs shed their hairs after every six months.This is called as a moulting of hairs.This is a normal phenomenon.This does not require any treatment.During moulting period you should take your dog outside of house in open area & brush it daily so dead hairs will fall down & new hairs will come fast.By this way you will be hastening the moulting process.My personal experience is that in case of females before one month of their regular cycle(oestrous cycle)they usually shed lot of hairs.Again after brushing you should sterilize the brush by putting the brush in boiling hot water.Daily brushing is the key for healthy coat of the dog.

Nothing is cure this problem 100%. I have a nine-year old Lab and he still sheds. I've found that Cod Liver Oil help retains the hair and makes his coat a lot softer. CLO is also good for their joints.

Don't give her ghee, salt, chocolate, tea and onions. brush (groomed) her two times in a day and use tick powder when you brush her. and don't bath her earlier.bath one times in a week.

And give her injection of Ivo-mac(Injection) content One ml. only with 10kg body weight.

Use pedigree in hr feeding.

Give her pretty love and don't use patta at the house.
you will find them well so earlier..........good luck

I'm going to switch to Canidae food. It is supposed to clear up skin conditions, and maybe it would help. But sweeping every day works too.

Brush the dog. Also you can get a groomer to shave his hair down. Once or twice a year I get a groomer to shave my cats hair down to cut down on the hair.
