How ca stop my dog hair falling.?

I have a Lab dog he is 9 months old and his hair is folling like crazy.

Falling out shedding, or falling out to where he has bald spots?



If it is just shedding..nothing is going to stop that. But you can lessen it by daily brushing..pick up a Zoom Groom or a shedding blade (Petsmart) and use that at least a few times a week. That, along with monthly bathing (giving a bath helps get all that dead undercoat out) will help.



If the hair is falling out and leaving bald spots...have him seen by a vet.

Dogs don't normally go bald, so it could be something like mange or hot spots. Either way, you should go see a vet. If it is "Hot Spots" check out this site to help with the symptoms.

The amount and localization of the hair loss is the definitive symptom, and you did not give that. Wash and brush your dog to remove the loose hair. If bald spots develop, take your dog to the vet. It may be due to food allergy or other stressors if it results in baldness. If there are crusty spots on the skin, suspect fleas, treat for them and also treat your house. If in doubt, consult your vet.
