Hair loss in dogs is a very normal phenomenon, but if the amount of hair loss is relatively large or there are skin abnormalities, the owner needs to be alert. We can treat it by supplementing B vitamins, fatty acids, proteins, and Ganoderma spore powder.

The first is B vitamins. B vitamins can help dogs enhance the health of their skin and hair, promote stable hair growth, and help alleviate dog hair loss. Common vitamin B drugs include: vitamin B6, vitamin B12, nicotinamide and folic acid.

Secondly, fatty acids are key components in maintaining the health of dog skin and hair, and also have a good effect on hair loss. Commonly used fatty acid drugs include: Omega 3, Omega 6, linolenic acid, etc. They are usually used to increase the content of essential fatty acids in dogs’ bodies and promote basal metabolism and hair growth.

Thirdly, dog hair is made of protein, so a lack of protein will cause hair loss in dogs. Adding an appropriate amount of protein can also prevent and improve hair loss.

Finally, Ganoderma spore powder has a certain effect on hair removal and other problems. Ganoderma spore powder is rich in a variety of nutrients and trace elements, and has the function of enhancing immunity and promoting seasonal resistance.

For owners, when using medication for treatment, it is best to seek the advice of a veterinarian in advance and not to use medication indiscriminately. At the same time, it is also important to note that drugs often have side effects. When your dog develops symptoms of discomfort or drug allergy, you need to stop taking the drug in time and seek veterinary help. In addition to medication, it is also important to maintain your dog's health and hygiene habits. Routine flea protection, regular grooming, and the correct choice of nutritious pet food can all help reduce dog shedding.
