Yes Shiba's do shed fur regularly. Shiba inu’s have two official “shedding seasons,” fall and spring. Yet, you'll quickly realize that shibas shed plenty throughout the year, too. Weather can also impact the thickness of a Shiba's coat.

Shiba Inu's are known to be very clean without any regular need for bathing. To help with the abundance of shedding is to give them a very occasional bath, which helps to loosen fur. An extra bath here or there can help control the amount of shedding during the high-shedding seasons. But don’t go overboard.
Too much bathing will alter the thin layer of fat in the skin layers that helps regulate their temperature and skin oil. A blow dryer or dog-friendly vacuum can also help get rid of dandruff and fleas. Many dogs enjoy the warmth of the blow dryer, as long as it’s set to a medium or low setting and specifically designed for dogs. When drying off your pet, note that shibas are prone to skin allergies, so keep an eye out for redness or hotspots that may indicate they’re experiencing a reaction to something in their environment. If you notice something, talk to your vet—there are lots of options available for pet allergies.
