In winter, the long fur shields the cold, and in summer, dogs will shed some old fur to regulate their body temperature. Seasonal hair loss is familiar to everyone, but did you know it? Many human factors can also cause dog hair loss.
Bichon Dogs
Many households use adult soaps or shampoos or even laundry detergents and detergents to bathe dogs. Because the dog's skin tends to be medium-sized, and adult detergents are more alkaline than the dog's skin, which causes the dog's skin to be dry and itchy, allowing mites, bacteria, and fungi to take advantage of the opportunity to form skin diseases and eventually lead to hair loss . In addition, taking a bath too often does great damage to the normal protective substances secreted by the skin. Therefore, it is recommended that dogs should use special washing products for dogs, and the number of baths should not be too frequent and should be reasonably controlled.
In addition, the natural environment such as sunlight exposure and temperature can also affect the growth of dog hair. If the puppy is not exposed to sunlight for a long time and kept indoors for many years, it will also cause slight hair loss throughout the year. If the dog has a condition such as folliculitis or eczema, or has a large number of dog lice and fleas, it can also cause a lot of hair loss.
Then how do we avoid it?
First get into the habit of brushing your dog regularly. Twice a day, use a pet comb.
Secondly, choose the right bath lotion. A good bath lotion may protect the dog's fur, reduce the amount of hair loss, and prevent skin diseases.
Third, if the dog likes to wear clothes, you can dress it appropriately, but try not to wear dark clothes.
