Does dogs lose weight if they lose hair? There are different situations. If they lose hair more seriously, it is confirmed that there are certain problems in their bodies, and some dogs will lose weight. Some dogs also look thinner because their hair is gone and their plump hair is gone, but they are not thin in detail. But no matter what the situation is, it is not good to have too much hair loss, and there are certain problems in the body. At this time, the owner must take certain effective measures to assist the dog.

1, pay attention to dietary matching

Some dogs lose hair because their owners feed salty ingredients. For example, dog food with too much salt content; the owner throws some vegetables for the dog to eat when eating, and some dogs like to eat heavy-tasting ingredients. If you often eat salty ingredients, your dog's body will suffer harm, and some will shed hair.

Therefore, it is recommended that the owner feeds the dog the food as light as possible, and feeds the dog with low salt and cooks it independently without adding too much salt and oil.

2. Some owners know that feeding meat with too heavy salt and other ingredients is not good, so they only feed dog food. However, if the nutrients in dog food are insufficient, the body will lose weight if it cannot get sufficient nutrients; and if the body does not have nutrients to transport to the skin and hair, the hair will explode.

Therefore, the owner should supplement the dog with more vitamins and balance the diet. For example, give the dog some chicken breast, raw pork, fish, raw eggs, winter melon and other foods. In addition, give the dog some soy lecithin good for hair, which can be mixed into the ingredients and eaten together, which is more convenient.

3, pay attention to insect removal

If there are larvae on the skin and hair of the dog, a lot of hair will explode. When the dog goes to the lawn, next to flowers, trees, under the bed, and the bottom of the fabric sofa, you may be violated by bacteria and small insects. The cleavage larvae damages the skin and causes the hair to explode. If the dog feels itchy, it will scratch its own skin, and the hair will explode even more seriously.

Therefore, it is recommended that the owner pay attention to deworming the dog, usually deworming once every three months. If you see a little red or insect on the dog's skin, it can increase the deworming frequency.
