In winter, their long hair protects them from the severe cold. When summer comes, dogs will shed part of their old hair to regulate their body temperature. Everyone is familiar with seasonal hair loss, but did you know? Many human factors can also cause dog hair loss.

Bichon Frize

Many families use adult soap or shampoo or even washing powder and detergent to bathe dogs. Because dog skin tends to be medium-sized, and adult detergents are more alkaline than dog skin, causing dryness and itching of the dog's skin, allowing mites, bacteria, and fungi to take advantage of it, causing skin diseases and ultimately leading to hair loss. . In addition, frequent bathing will greatly damage the normal protective substances secreted by the skin. Therefore, it is recommended that dogs should use dog-specific washing products, and the number of baths should not be too frequent and should be reasonably controlled.

In addition, natural environments such as sunlight and temperature will also affect the growth of dog hair. If the puppy is not exposed to sunlight for a long time and is kept indoors for many years, it will also cause slight hair loss throughout the year. If the dog suffers from diseases such as folliculitis or eczema, or has a large number of dog lice and fleas, it can also cause massive hair loss.

How can we avoid it?

First, develop the habit of grooming your dog frequently. Twice a day, use a pet-specific comb.

Secondly, choose the correct bath liquid. A good bath liquid may protect the dog's fur, reduce the amount of hair loss, and prevent skin diseases.

Third, if your dog likes to wear clothes, you can dress it appropriately, but try not to wear dark clothes.
