What are the causes of dog hair loss?

Causes of dog hair loss:
1. Skin diseases. Dogs use their claws to scratch their bodies, and a large number of large hairs will be pulled off along the way.
2. Physiological hair moulting. Dogs will undergo physiological hair moulting when they are 3 to 6 months old. Usually, the fetal hair can be completely shed at 8 or 9 months of age.
3. Unbalanced nutrition. Unbalanced nutrition will cause hair loss in dogs.
4. Abnormal endocrine hair loss. Dog’s hair growth is controlled by the body’s endocrine and nervous systems. Some diseases, psychological stress, long-term anxiety, nervousness, and fear will all lead to negative effects on the dog’s hair.
Treatment methods for dog hair loss:
1. If it is a seasonal hair loss, the owner only needs to clean it well during this period to avoid getting it everywhere in the house. That's it.
2. If you bathe too frequently or the bathing method is incorrect. Under normal circumstances, bathing your dog once a week is enough.
3. If it is caused by skin disease, then treatment is the first choice. Parents should take their dogs to the pet hospital for a physical examination, and then choose appropriate medicines for treatment with the help of veterinarians.
