Way too many to count! But surely it depends on the type of dog?

Hi,
According to Miller’s Anatomy, there are about 15,000 hairs per square inch on a dog, so it really depends on how big the dog is!
My chihuahua is tiny, but my german shepherd is huge. So they each would have a different number of hairs on them.
I hope that answers your question!

Millions! And as some dogs ‘shed’ their coats (hair falls out) having to clean up after them can be a lot of work!
