Pets sometimes lose hair because of their normal metabolism, but there are also cases where dogs shed a lot of hair when they are sick. It’s easy to worry if you don’t know what kind of hair loss is normal. Labradors will lose hair as soon as spring comes. Losing hair like crazy. So if you don’t know how to deal with it, you will often take it to the hospital and waste money! So we should pay attention to the following things during the normal shedding season:

Generally speaking, old hairs fall out because new hairs grow out and push them out. If your Labrador 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, the dog can complete hair shedding in 1-3 weeks. "And 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 dog keeps scratching the skin somewhere, you should pay attention."

The doctor reminded that this kind of hair loss is not normal, and the dog should be taken to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.

In addition, improper diet can also cause abnormal hair loss. Many dogs lose hair because they eat too much meat. A man brought his dog to the hospital and said that the dog had been losing hair for several weeks. After asking, I found out that the owner saw that the dog liked to eat ham and broth, so he reduced the amount of dog food, made extra broth, bone soup, and fed ham sausage to the dog. "This causes the dog's nutrition to be unbalanced and reduces the skin's resistance.

Eating dog food normally can fully meet the needs of the dog's skin. Even during the moulting period, there is no need to supplement nutrients. ”

Furthermore, frequent bathing of dogs can also cause hair loss. The original intention of bathing your dog frequently to maintain hygiene is good, but bathing your dog too much is not good. Because the dog'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 your dog has a fungal infection, washing it frequently will expand the scope of the infection and cause hair loss over a large area.

"Only wash the dog's paws and belly every day, and then wash it thoroughly every two or three weeks. Don't use too much shampoo." If too much shampoo is used and the dog's hair is too thick, it will be difficult to rinse it thoroughly, and the residue will remain in the dog's body. Shampoo on the skin can also stimulate hair loss in dogs.
