(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 17, 2012 ) New York, NY -- According to Pet Grooming Tips website, PetGroomingTips.Org, hair loss is one of the most common complaints that pet owners have. The severity of the condition, commonly known as alopecia, depends upon the root cause. This also determines what course of treatment for dog hair loss is likely to be warranted, according to PetGroomingTips.Org.
“Dog hair loss can happen at any age and for any breed of dog. The condition can also arise throughout various different body parts such as head, back, eyes, and tail. Due to the variety of different hair loss conditions, there is not one overall treatment method. It depends on the root cause of the condition in the first place,” said a website spokesperson.
Typical causes for hair loss in dogs, as highlighted by the dog grooming tips website, include the following:
To help combat hair loss arising from one of the above causes, PetGroomingTips.Org have outlined a number of possible treatment methods.
“First of all take your dog to the vet. You won’t be able to treat the hair loss until you know the underlying cause. Then use a flea-protection spray, put your dog on a proper diet, and use the specific medications prescribed by the vet. The key is to never try and diagnose the problem yourself as you may get it wrong. Always consult advice from a professional vet.”
