WHY IS MY DOG LOSING HAIR

“As a professional groomer, I have seen my share of cases of hair loss in dogs. It can be an unpleasant and disturbing event for dog owners, but fear not I’m here to give some much-needed advice.

First of all, let’s address the elephant in the room: yes, sometimes dogs lose their hair because they just shed. I know this isn’t exactly rocket science, but you’d be surprised how many people come to me in a panic over what is essentially just molting season. So, take a deep breath, grab a fuzzy roller, and accept that sometimes hair loss is a natural part of a dog’s life.

However, if your dog’s hair loss seems excessive, there may be some hidden cause. Allergies, parasites, hormonal imbalances, and skin infections are just some of the causes that may be causing your dog’s hair loss. So if you notice your furry friend’s shedding, scabs, or rashes on his skin, it’s time to see a professional (i.e. me!).

We all know that dogs are covered in fur, but they seem to have an amazing ability to lose that fur at an alarming rate. It’s as if they’re molting just to mess with us. And don’t even get me started on the fact that they molt the most right after you vacuum the house. It’s like they have a secret doggie meeting where they plan the perfect time to molt your freshly scrubbed floors.

But let’s be honest, as frustrating as it is to deal with dog hair loss, we still love our furry friends. What’s more, some might even say that shedding is just another way to show your affection after all, who wouldn’t want to have a little piece of their dog with them at all times?

In conclusion, if your dog is losing hair, don’t panic it may just be a natural part of the molting process. But if you’re concerned, it’s always best to consult a professional. And remember, despite all the irony and frustration, we wouldn’t trade our furry companions for anything in the world (even if they leave a trail of hair behind them).
In addition to these common causes, there are also more serious medical conditions that can cause hair loss in dogs. These can include hormonal imbalances, autoimmune diseases, and cancer. So if you’ve tried everything and your dog is still losing hair, it’s important to take them to the vet for a checkup. Because let’s face it, we may be great groomers, but we’re not licensed veterinarians.”
