Common skin diseases in golden retrievers:

1. Eczema

Eczema develops very quickly and spreads very quickly. Eczema is mostly caused by dogs scratching the same area over and over again. Especially when the weather is hot and muggy, it is easy to develop eczema when the dog scratches the skin. Owners should try to avoid infection of their dog's skin and keep it dry.

2. Scabies

It is a contagious skin disease caused by scabies mites and is accompanied by severe itching and eczema-like changes. The main clinical features are severe itching, hair loss and eczematous dermatitis.

3. Mites

Mites are also a common skin disease in dogs. In fact, most dogs are born with mites, and cross-breed dogs are no exception. The problem arises when the dog's immunity to the mites decreases and the mites are unable to be suppressed.

How to prevent skin diseases in golden retrievers:

1. For dogs that already have skin diseases, it is best to treat them according to their physical condition and the severity of the disease. By formulating dog food suitable for it, only when the body's immunity is improved can the dog's disease heal faster, and dogs without skin diseases can also be prevented from being troubled by the disease.

2. Spring is the season when dogs change their hair. Frequent combing can prevent the shed hair from remaining on the body. The hair after each combing is more ventilated and dry, reducing bacterial growth.

3. Fungal skin diseases are also the most common skin diseases in dogs. In the daily environment, kennels, food bowls and other things used by dogs must be disinfected and sterilized in time.
