	Our Westie is about 6 years old and he sheds awful. We have him groomed every 4-6 weeks. We don't brush him every day but I was wondering if the food he eats might cause shedding. We have tried to vet recommended drops but those make his belly hurt. Anyone have this problem with their Westie and if so any recommendations on how to make it stop. When I said shedding bad I mean I can vacuum every day and get a bag full of hair. Also when he jumps off our lap our clothes are covered with his hair.
