It is normal for dogs to shed hair. However, dogs that have lost their hair will become very unlovable and may even affect the normal life of the dog owner. Therefore, when raising a dog, you need to understand what to do if a dog sheds severely and what causes serious hair loss in dogs.
Dog owners must often be troubled by their dogs’ hair loss, especially long-haired dogs. When dogs are shedding their coats, the house is always filled with dust, and it feels like all the hair on the dog’s body is about to fall out. But in fact, the reason why dogs shed hair is not limited to the shedding season. Pet owners need to treat the symptoms according to the cause to help dogs reduce hair loss.
1. Shedding during the shedding season
Most dogs shed their hair in spring and autumn. This is to adapt to temperature changes. The amount of hair required in summer does not need to be so much, so when the weather gets warmer, some of the old hair is shed to regulate body temperature. When winter comes, they will take off their coarse hair and replace it with downy hair to survive the cold winter. This is normal, as long as the pet owner pays attention to cleaning and combing the hair frequently.
2. Lack of nutrition
Dog food contains fewer nutrients and cannot meet the dog's physical needs. When the body is deficient in nutrients, it cannot provide enough nutrients to the skin and hair, so the hair will fall off. Therefore, pet owners cannot feed their dogs a single type of dog food and need to pay attention to a reasonable nutritional mix. You can feed more foods that are good for hair, such as salmon, beef, and various fruits and vegetables, and combine them with pet hair beauty supplements such as Suli Pet Hair to help supplement the nutrients needed for hair growth and make the hair beautiful and shiny.
3. Improper bathing
Excessive bathing will cause damage to the dog's skin barrier, which in turn will cause hair loss. Therefore, pet owners should pay attention to bathing their dogs no more than three times a month. At the same time, you should also choose a dog-specific bath liquid to bathe, which is beneficial to hair care and skin care. After taking a bath, dry your hair promptly to avoid catching a cold.
4. Skin problems
Dog skin problems also need to be taken seriously. If the skin is not good, the hair will naturally not grow well. They are related to cold lips and tooth decay. Therefore, the pet owner should deworm the dog externally once a month. If your dog is infected with fungi such as ringworm, you should use Quwangman and Wangmiao Skin Select to help care for the skin and stabilize the skin condition. At the same time, feed Wangxiang Vitamin B and Cute Itchy Fun to supplement the required nutrients and help maintain normal physiological functions.
Okay, the above is what you should do about dog hair loss.
