Preventing and Controlling Dog Hair Loss

Hair loss in pets is most often caused by itching and skin diseases, but it may also be attributed to your pet’s nutrition, organ function, blood flow, hormones, and behavior. To reduce your pet’s hair loss:

Add an omega 3 supplement
Feed your pet a multivitamin with Omega 3 fatty acids, which may help restore your pet’s skin health and reduce hair loss.

Apply a monthly flea preventative
If your pet is constantly itching, this can cause hot spots and other skin diseases which may trigger hair loss. Give your pet a monthly flea preventative to kill fleas and other pesky insects.

Groom your pet regularly
Wash and groom your pet frequently to remove bacteria from the skin and hair follicles.

Establish a healthy diet
Feed your pet food that is lean, nutritious, and fortified with vitamins and minerals.
