Dermal parasites are a common cause of hair loss in dogs. These could be fleas, mites, ringworm, or less common dermal parasites. Allergies are a common cause of skin issues and hair loss in dogs. Often the hair loss is due to the dog's itching and scratching or secondary bacterial infections. Superficial bacteria and yeast infections can also cause hair loss. Behavioral problems can also lead a dog to overgroom and pull its hair out.
This dog needs to be examined by a veterinarian for diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
