Hey! This could be Demodex mites or something else. I would try giving your dog a Bravecto (flea tick and mite) anti parasite pill and see if this fixes it after 1 month. Your pet may also need antibiotics. I would bring him/her to a local veterinarian. I hope this helps!

HEY! I made an entire YouTube video on treatment for bad or itchy skin in dogs. You most likely need antibiotics which you will have to get from your local doctor. Dogs can take Clavamox or Amoxicillin 5mg per pound of body weight. Twice a day. for 10 days. This will help skin also!

Hey! If you can write back with what breed you cat is this may help me more. Alopecia or hair balding or hair loss in cats can be from allergies, hormone disease or excessive grooming from behavioral issues or itching from fleas. I suggest going to your local veterinarian for a quick physical exam and see what he/she thinks. I hope this helped! Dr. Lindsay Butzer

Hey! I like Blue Buffalo, Hills, Royal Canin, Purina diets are all really good food to feed them. I like to use canned wet dog food if they are picky eaters to mix in with the kibble. For weight gain you can feed them cooked chicken with rice too. I hope this helps! Dr. Lindsay Butzer

Hey! I suggest bathing your puppy and then definitely making sure she got a dose of Frontline flea/tick medication which is very safe for puppies. Puppies actually are naturally itchy. But make sure she doesn't have an ear infection or any skin infections. I also recommend brining your puppy to your local veterinary office for them to physically examine your pet. I hope this helps!
