Dogs shed hair due to seasonal shedding

Most pets shed their hair in spring and autumn. Dogs don’t need so much hair in the summer, so when the weather gets warmer, they shed some of their old hair to regulate their body temperature. When winter comes, they will take off their coarse hair and replace it with down to survive the cold winter. These are normal phenomena. As long as you comb your dog's hair more every day during this period, clean up the fallen hair in time, and keep your home hygienic.

Dogs lose hair because of skin diseases

If a dog suffers from skin diseases, such as folliculitis, eczema, fleas, etc., it will cause hair loss in dogs. Moreover, dogs will scratch their fur with their claws and teeth due to severe itching, and will scratch off a large amount of dog hair. In this case, it is best to take the dog to the hospital for examination to determine the cause and then treat it.

Dog hair loss is caused by the use of human shower gel

Many owners use human soap, shampoo, washing powder, and detergent to bathe their pets. This is a very wrong approach. Dogs' skin tends to be neutral, and human detergents are more alkaline than dog's skin, which can cause dryness and itching of dogs' skin, making them prone to skin diseases and hair loss.

Dog hair loss is due to lack of vitamins

Dogs will also lose hair when they are deficient in vitamins, especially vitamin B. Hair removal is accompanied by symptoms such as weight loss, anorexia, and general weakness. Therefore, owners should pay attention to the nutritional balance of dogs in their daily diet and supplement with more vitamins.

Dogs lose hair because they bathe too frequently

Bathing too frequently can greatly damage the normal protective substances secreted by the dog's skin, which can easily lead to dry skin and skin diseases. Therefore, it is recommended that dogs should use special cleaning supplies for pets. The number of baths should not be too frequent and should be reasonably controlled.
