First, seasonal hair loss
Alaskan Malamutes shed their hair in spring and autumn. This phenomenon also exists in Shepherd Dogs and Chow Chows. Because in summer, dogs don’t need as much hair, so they will shed some of their old hair to regulate their body temperature when the weather gets warmer; and when winter is coming, dogs will also Take off the coarse hair and replace it with new down to survive the cold winter. These are normal conditions. As long as pet owners can clean off the shed hair regularly every day, they will not have hair flying all over the house.
Second, caused by folliculitis or eczema
The general cause is that there are a large number of fleas and dog lice on the dog's body, and in this case, the dog will cause a lot of hair loss. In daily life, dogs will also use their teeth or claws to scratch the skin, causing a large amount of hair to fall off. Once pet owners discover this situation, they should quickly deworm and treat their dogs.
Third, human reasons
When bathing your dog, be sure to use pet-specific shampoo. You cannot just buy some laundry detergent or washing powder on the market to bathe your dog. This can easily cause the dog's skin to be highly alkaline, causing the dog's skin to be dry and itchy. In this case, dogs are susceptible to fungal and bacterial infections. It can also eventually lead to hair loss.
Fourth, lack of vitamins and minerals
In the daily process of feeding your Alaskan Malamute, you must remember to supplement it with vitamins. These include vitamin B, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin A and vitamin D. Of course, you can also get it from food. Vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins and can be fed in appropriate amounts.
