Is he scratching it out or is it falling out? |

| |
The first thing that needs to be decided when a dog is losing his hair is whether it is falling out or whether he is scratching it out. If he is scratching at the areas of hair loss, then underlying causes of itching need to be investigated. Some causes of itching include allergies, parasites, and skin infections.
