Please give me advice about my dog, losing its hair.?

About the last year and a half my dog is starting to lose his hair on his lower back by his tail. Every month we buy different pellets for him, because if he eats to much of the same brand, he starts to lose his hair. Some months his hair are nice and thick and then suddenly its gone again. I regularly give him his bob martins. Please help me?

Could be a nutritional issue.Try adding some salmon oil to his diet. Make sure the food you give him is nutritionally complete. If this doesnt do it, start thinling about food allergies. Look for food that had alternative sources of protein and carbs. Beef and chicken can cause allergies. Carbs that contain wheat, corn and other common grains can pe a problem too.

Look for ingredients like duck, venison or lamb....and no rice!

Potatoes and sweet potatoes are good.

I know all this because it took me 2 years to figure out what was wrong with my bichon's skin. Vets wanted to give him antihistamines and steroids. Not a good alternative.

Here's a website to get you started. Good luck.

Sounds if your dog has sarcoptic mange, take him to a vet. I have used weak potassium permanganate with indifferent success on one of my dogs....they may sell mange medication at your pet store...states vary the laws about meds.

This happened to my pug (female) during times of stress. The vet thought it might have been a microscopic pest called Mange. They tested her and found none thankfully, but that may be something to ask the vet about.

Bring your dog to his vet to have it checked out. He might have a mite problem, or may be allergic to some of the ingredients in the food or his shampoo, or some other dermatological condition. In any case, the vet should be able to give you much better advise than here.

Good luck.

Have ypou had your dog tested for a disease called sebaceous adenitis? It is a skin disease leading to progressive loss of hair and hair follicles. The methodof diagnosis is a microscopic examination of a skin punch biopsy by an approved veterinary pathologist. Maybe this is your dog's problem. Good luck.

Chronic hair loss in dogs is often caused by allergies. If the hair loss is around the base of the dog's tail it may be an inidcation that it's allergic to flea bites. Make sure your dog is kept free of paracites and get him allergy-tested by your vet.
