Hair loss in dogs can be distressing for both pets and their owners. Whether it’s due to allergies, infections, or other underlying conditions, untreated hair loss can lead to discomfort and more severe skin issues. At DermVet, based in Leicestershire, we specialise in diagnosing and treating a wide range of dermatological conditions in dogs, including hair loss.
Understanding Hair Loss in Dogs
Hair loss can occur for various reasons, including:
- Allergies: Food, environmental allergens like pollen, or flea bites can lead to skin irritation and hair loss.
- Infections: Bacterial, fungal, or parasitic infections may cause localised or widespread hair thinning.
- Stress or Behavioural Issues: Excessive licking or scratching due to anxiety can contribute to hair loss.
At DermVet, we use proven techniques to identify the root cause of your dog’s hair loss.
Customised Treatment Programs
Since each dog is different, we develop individualised treatment programs according to your pet’s requirements. Our treatments could consist of:
– Medicine to treat allergies or infections.
– Dietary modifications for sensitivity to certain foods.
– Skincare routines to get a healthy coat back.
– Ways for managing chronic illnesses over the long term.
We hope the above information helps to highlight how we can assist here at DermVet if your dog is experiencing hair loss. If you would like to arrange a consultation with us, then please do not hesitate to get in touch. You can call us on 0116 326 0402 and we look forward to speaking with you soon.
