Why does my Labrador's coat look lighter?

I have puppy owners ask about why their chocolate lab's coat looks lighter in the summer. 

A lot of people assume its from sun lightening and there can be a bit of that but the truth is that Labrador retrievers "blow" their undercoat twice a year (aka shedding).  This will give the lightening or reddening affect. 

Don't worry, as long as you don't wash labs with soap, (and I believe, feed Life's Abundance which can be purchased at godivalabradors.com) your furry friend's coat will go back to their beautiful and shiny coats soon enough.
