Spring and summer alternate. This period is the season for Bichon Frize dogs to shed hair. Although we all know that Bichon Frize dogs' hair loss is a normal physiological reaction, we cannot ignore the possibility of abnormal hair loss. At the same time, we must ensure that the new hair it grows is of better quality. During this period of hair removal, we must find ways to take care of it and have enough patience to take care of it.
First, let’s look at the seasons. Bichon Frize loses hair in spring and summer because it needs new hair, which is normal. Generally speaking, old hairs fall out because new hairs grow out and push them out. If your Bichon Frize 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, Bichon Frize dogs can complete hair shedding in 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 Bichon Frize keeps scratching the skin somewhere, you should pay attention. This kind of hair loss is not normal, and you should take your Bichon Frize to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. In addition, improper diet can also cause abnormal hair loss. Many Bichon Frize dogs lose hair because they eat too much meat. This causes the Bichon Frize's nutrition to be unbalanced and reduces the skin's resistance. Eating Bichon Frize dog food normally can fully meet the needs of the Bichon Frize dog's skin. Even during the moulting period, there is no need to supplement nutrients. Furthermore, frequent bathing of Bichon Frize dogs can also cause hair loss. The original intention of bathing the Bichon Frize frequently to maintain hygiene is good, but bathing the Bichon Frize too much is not good. Because the Bichon Frize'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 Bichon Frize has a fungal infection, washing it frequently will expand the scope of the infection and cause hair loss in a large area. Just wash your Bichon Frize'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 Bichon Frize's hair will be too thick and it will be difficult to rinse it thoroughly. The shampoo remaining on the skin will also stimulate the Bichon Frize's hair loss. If we want to remove the Bichon Frize's hair faster, we can do it in our daily life. Groom it properly, and pay attention to the feeding methods. If the food we give to the Bichon Frize does not pay attention to balanced nutrition, it will easily cause the Bichon Frize to experience abnormal hair loss. The change of seasons is here. In order to avoid the problem of dandelions flying all over the house, we need to take good care of our dogs seriously.
