There are many reasons for Husky hair loss. Puppies will gradually lose their fetal hair after 3 months. If it is the first time for Xiaoha to experience hair loss during summer, it is a normal phenomenon. You can usually observe it for a few more days, mainly to see whether the fur that the Husky puppy is losing is the layer of fluff underneath or the long hair on the surface.
