It’s time for the Tibetan Mastiff at home to moult. However, there are still many Tibetan Mastiff owners who are confused and don’t know what kind of hair loss is normal and what kind of hair loss should take their little Tibetan Mastiff to see a doctor. Let’s look at the seasons first. Tibetan Mastiffs shed their hair in spring because they need new hair. This is a normal phenomenon. Generally speaking, old hairs fall out because new hairs grow out and push them out. If your Tibetan Mastiff is losing hair in strands and the skin color is normal, it is a normal shedding.

At this time, it is best for the owner to use a professional dog comb to comb them so that the old hair can fall off quickly. Usually, Tibetan Mastiffs can complete their hair loss within 1-3 weeks. If you find that the old hair is falling off piece by piece, and the skin there is ringworm, or there are many small red bumps, or the Tibetan Mastiff keeps scratching the skin somewhere, you should pay attention. This kind of hair loss is not normal, and the Tibetan Mastiff should be taken to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.

Improper diet can also cause abnormal hair loss. Many Tibetan Mastiffs lose hair because they eat too much meat. This causes the Tibetan Mastiff's nutrition to be unbalanced and reduces the skin's resistance. Eating Tibetan Mastiff food normally can fully meet the needs of Tibetan Mastiff skin. Even during the moulting period, there is no need to supplement nutrients. Furthermore, frequent bathing of Tibetan Mastiffs can also cause hair loss. The original intention of bathing the Tibetan Mastiff frequently to maintain hygiene is good, but bathing the Tibetan Mastiff too much is not good. Because the Tibetan Mastiff's skin itself has a layer of protective oil, bathing all the time will destroy the skin's own ability to regulate and maintain. If the Tibetan Mastiff has a fungal infection, washing it frequently will expand the scope of the infection and cause hair loss in a large area. Only wash the Tibetan Mastiff's paws and belly every day, and then wash it thoroughly every two or three weeks. Don’t use too much shampoo either. If too much shampoo is used, the Tibetan Mastiff's hair will be too thick and it will be difficult to rinse thoroughly. The shampoo remaining on the skin will also stimulate the Tibetan Mastiff's hair loss.
