Reading about 3-year-old Exel’s antics gives a clear picture of his lively and sweet nature. While that eager, persistent attitude towards food is typical of Labradors, sticking to a feeding routine based on veterinary advice to manage his weight is a very responsible decision. I suspect that bathing him every week might be a major reason behind his excessive shedding; frequent bathing strips away the skin's natural oils, which can significantly worsen hair loss. I believe that spacing out the baths and using the right brush regularly would help alleviate this issue considerably. Also, since chocolate can be quite risky for a dog's health, it is best to exercise some caution when giving treats—even those labeled as dog chocolate. As for him inserting himself when you are talking to the children—that isn't jealousy; rather, he simply wants to draw attention as a cherished member of the family. His excellent potty training and football skills are truly impressive. With the right grooming and care, Exel will stay even healthier and more energetic. Best of luck to you in this contest! 😊
