It can be a more thorough blown coat than ever before for a few reasons. What has changed in his diet this year? And are you noticing any other changes that could be age related? For many dogs Spring shed is just undercoat, but Fall shed is under and outer and the outer coat gets looking pretty nasty before it goes. A change in diet this year can magnify that especially if he is growing more coat than he used to, which is why I brought up the age question. A lot of dogs have a change in amount of coat and texture of coat as they age.
