Do you have any dog health questions that you just find it difficult to get answers for? Take a look below at some common inquiries which dog and puppy owners like you write to us about.

Is Your Puppy Shedding His Hair?

Dog health concerns come from all over the globe about the family pet losing his or her hair, both in young puppies as well as the aging canine. Many canines generally shed twice a year but in some cases the fur falls out in big chunks, quite unlike normal shedding.

The answer to this question comes in three different reasons why your dog might be losing at an alarming pace; parasites, a dietary deficiency, or hormonal unbalances.

A check-up by your veterinarian is the only plausible answer here. Your veterinarian could tell you if your dog has a fatty acid deficiency or simply you are overfeeding him meat or carbohydrates. Your pet might also have developed an underactive thyroid or other temporary hormonal imbalances as a result of recent spaying.

In a recent conversation with my neighbor, her being aware that I am a dog fanatic and an expert in dog health concerns, she shared the devastating news with me that her beloved Beagle had died from distemper.

The cause of death was verified by her veterinarian. She was not just annoyed, but very shocked to know about this because she claimed that her dog was an inside dog literally all its life. "How could she have contracted this disease?" she questioned.

Dog health queries like this frighten me due to pet owners' ignorance and lack of education to keep their dog's health in good standing. The fact here is that distemper is an acute contagious disease brought on by an airborne virus. Even if a dog might never venture outside, it is easy for individuals to pick this disease up on their clothing and then bring it back home to their dog. Every dog, without exception, should be inoculated against this highly infectious disease.
