petsSometimes hair loss is a normal metabolism, but there are also some cases where dogs lose a lot of hair when they are sick. I don't know what kind of hair loss is. It's normal and easy to worry about. Labradors shed furiously in the spring. So if you don't know how to deal with it, you will often take it to the hospital to waste money! So we should pay attention to the following matters in the normal shedding season:

General In other words, the shedding of old hair is because new hair grows and pushes them off. If the Labrador sheds wisps of hair and the skin color is normal, it is normal molting. At this time, the owner had better comb them with a professional dog comb, so as to let the old hair fall off quickly. Usually, 1-3 weeks, the dog will be able to complete the molting. And if you find that the old hair is falling off piece by piece, and the skin here is ringworm, or there are many small red bumps, or the dog keeps scratching the skin somewhere, you should pay attention.

The doctor reminded that such hair removal is not normal, and the dog should be taken to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.

In addition, improper diet can also cause abnormal hair loss. Many dogs lose hair because they eat too much meat. A man brought a dog to the hospital and said that the dog has been shedding hair for several weeks. As soon as I asked, I found out that the owner saw that the dog likes to eat ham and broth, so he reduced the amount of dog food, and made extra broth and bone broth for the dog, and fed ham sausage. This causes the dog's nutritional imbalance and reduces the skin's resistance.

The dog's skin needs can be fully met by eating dog food normally. Even during the moulting period, there is no need for additional nutrition.

Furthermore, frequent bathing of dogs can also cause hair loss. The original intention of bathing your dog frequently to maintain hygiene is good, but it is not good to bathe your dog too much. Because the dog's skin itself has a layer of protective oil, the constant bathing will destroy the skin's own ability to regulate and maintain.

If the dog has a fungal infection, the constant washing will expand the scope of the infection and cause extensive hair loss.

Only wash your dog's paws and stomach every day, and then thoroughly every two or three weeks. Don't use too much shampoo. It is difficult to rinse off thoroughly, and the shampoo left on the skin can also stimulate the dog to shed hair.
