What are the causes of excessive hair loss and dry skin in dogs? Which breeds suffer the most with those conditions?
Shedding and Dry Skin:
Shedding, unfortunately, is a big part of being a pet owner. All dog’s shed and that simply cannot be helped. Excessive shedding, however, is not only inconvenient and a nuisance, but it can also indicate that there is an underlying issue that needs attention.
Many dog’s diets simply do not have the nutrients needed to promote the utmost coat and skin health, leading to not only excessive shedding, but also to a dull coat, and possibly itchy and flaky skin.
Breeds most likely to shed excessively:
- Akita
- Australian Shepherd
- Beagle
- Bernese Mountain Dog
- Border Collie
- Chihuahua
- Chow Chow
- German Shepherd
- Golden Retriever
- Great Pyrenees
- Labrador Retriever
- Newfoundland
- Pomeranian
- Pug
- Rottweiler
- Samoyed
- Shiba Inu
- Siberian Husky
- Saint Bernard
Though all dogs will shed, a strict and thorough brushing routine, in addition to a healthy, nutrient filled diet supplemented by the necessary vitamins is a fantastic way to curb excessive shedding and promoting health and beautiful coats.
It is also important to keep an eye out for dry skin, as the condition can be uncomfortable and should be treated as soon as possible. Some symptoms of dry skin to look out for are:
- Itching
- Dandruff

- Pimples
- Hair loss
- Odor
- Scabs
- Oiliness
