It's getting warm. She's going to shed. A lot.
Next time brush her out, outside, before the bath. It will help a lot.

It's deceptive. Vizslas have a finer coat than some dogs, and the rust color seems to blend with most surroundings. Unless you're wearing black pants, you probably won't notice as much. But they do shed. Oh yes, they do shed.

We have 2 v's. My wife uses this rubber-tipped brush before a bath and you would be surprised at the hair that comes off. She brushes them in the tub and we rinse it out. The dogs love it and ask for more. When she grabs the brush they get all excited and run to the tub.
We have done something with nothing for so long we are now qualified to do everything with anything....

shedding
I have never thought that Nutro Natural Choice had enough good ingredients for excellent skin and coat. With that said, Vizsla's shed 24/7 as do many breeds. More during Spring blowing our winter coat.
For a 3 month old V pup this is seasonal I'm sure. I would look into better food like CANIDAE, INNOVA and many others with ingredients to help produce better skin and coat and overall less shedding. There are plenty of supplements to add to food too that will certainly help.
Look at the CANIDAE web site http://www.canidae.com - At the top click on Canidae for Dogs, All Natural Ingredients, 10 Skin and Coat conditioners. You will get some idea of the ingredients necessary that should be in your dogs food for excellent skin and coat.
I have also known pups to shed out after being spayed too. Hormornal changes and affects of the gas used to put them under.
If you want a list of supplements that will certainly help overall condition e-mail me. thedogtrainer@yahoo.com

There are other quality feeds that would be fine as well. Our pup doesl really well on the Eukanuba Puppy - Medium. A little canola on the food.
Our older dog gets fed Exceed and she does really well on it. She gets a little canola on the side and an Omega 3 and Cosaquin supp for preventative hip issues.

Good feed is great but they still shed. Every single hair in there body comes out just like they do on us and a new one grows no matter what we eat. Thats what keeps the coat healthy and alive.

It's not how many breaths you have taken but how many times it has been taken away!
Has anyone noticed common sense isn't very common anymore.

Ditto the bath part...
When I plan to show my short coated breeds, I bathe them 3-4 days in advance - and then brush, brush, brush until the show date. Bathing seems to loosen things up! I use a zoom groom and a magnet stripping knife, and sometimes I also just wet my hands and massage the dog to loosen and remove any loose coat.
