Is your canine companion experiencing hair loss? Witnessing your dog’s once-lustrous coat diminish can be distressing. Hair loss in dogs, or alopecia, can result from various factors, including allergies, infections, hormonal imbalances, or stress. Identifying the root cause is essential for effective treatment.
At DermVet, located in Groby, Leicester, we specialise in diagnosing and treating skin and ear conditions in pets.
Led by David Bentley, a veterinary dermatologist with over 30 years of experience, our clinic offers expert care tailored to your dog’s specific needs.
Understanding Canine Hair Loss
Hair loss in dogs can manifest as thinning, bald patches, or complete loss of fur in certain areas. Common causes include:
- Allergies – Reactions to food, environmental factors 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.
- Hormonal Imbalances – Conditions such as hypothyroidism or Cushing’s disease can disrupt normal hair growth cycles.
- Stress Or Behavioural Issues – Excessive licking or scratching due to anxiety can contribute to hair loss.
DermVet’s Comprehensive Approach
At DermVet, we utilise proven techniques to identify the underlying cause of your dog’s hair loss. Our diagnostic process includes thorough physical examinations and, if necessary, advanced tests to pinpoint the issue accurately.
Once diaggosed, we develop a personalised treatment plan that may include:
- Medications – Antibiotics or antifungal treatments to address infections.
- Topical Therapies – Specialised shampoos and creams to soothe and heal the skin.
- Dietary Recommendations – Nutritional guidance to support skin health and prevent future issues.
- Environmental Modifications – Suggestions to reduce exposure to allergens or stressors.
Our goal is to not only treat the symptoms but also address the root cause, ensuring a healthier, happier pet.
