<human>: I adopted an american staffordshire terrier 3 months ago and she had this nice soft coat of hair for about 2 months. In the last 3 weeks or so she has started shedding **a lot** to the point where I can see her skin under the coat if I look for it. She's lost most of her coat on her body as I feel the coat on her neck/shoulders is still very dense.

The weather here in Texas has gotten **much** warmer. However, she's also started getting a rash/irritation on her belly about the same time her coat started coming off, which has cleared up with some benadryl and shampoo given to me by the vet. She does sneeze now and again when she's sniffing grass by my apartment and it makes me wonder if there is something in it that is causing this problem/allergic to.

My question is: Does this occur because of the change in weather or is it due to something she's allergic to? Is there something I can do for her own comfort? Is there anything I can do to stop the shedding?

Thanks.

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: My dog is shedding a lot randomly, is it due to an allergic response she had/is having or the summer/hotter weather?
