Dogs often shake their fur
When a dog is in the moulting stage, the dog will shake off the floating hair on its body by shaking its hair. At this stage, the owner can comb the dog's hair every day and clean the home environment to prevent the growth of bacteria.

When a dog has parasites, it will cause itching of the dog's skin and the dog's hair will often shake. It is recommended to deworm the dog. It may be that the dog is shaking its hair to relieve stress, which is usually a normal phenomenon.
