When the seasons change, your pet dog at home will start to shed its fur, which is normal. But there will still be poop collectors who have questions: What kind of hair loss is normal for pet dogs? The editor below will tell you how to care for dog hair during the transition between spring and summer. What are your dog hair care tips? Let’s take a look below!

From a seasonal perspective, dogs shed hair in spring because they need to replace their hair, which is normal. Generally speaking, old hairs fall out because new hairs grow out and push them out. If your puppy is losing hair in strands and has a normal skin color, 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. 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. 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. 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 all the time will expand the scope of the infection and cause hair loss in a large area. Just wash your dog'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 and the dog's hair is too thick, it will be difficult to rinse thoroughly, and the shampoo remaining on the skin will also stimulate hair loss.
