If you read a book on health issues of cats and dogs, you will probably be surprised at the number of skin problems that these pets face. Such books have detailed chapters on common problems like feline acne, feline hair loss, feline dandruff and other issues on dog skin problems.
The list of dog skin health issues is particularly long and you can read about fifty hair loss conditions without any signs of the list ending.
The skin is perhaps the most affected organ in a dog’s body. Susceptibility to skin problems can cause major health concerns like skin lesions or lacerations. If you see your dog chewing continuously at what looks like wet raw skin, there is a reason to be concerned. You should not wait to see it getting bigger but seek medical advice as soon as you spot the smallest patch.
One of the main reasons for dog lesions is the sensitivity of the dog to the environment. Environmental Dermatitis usually affects dogs that spend too much time swimming, digging into gopher holes or playing in weed infested areas. Some dogs can even get lesions due to sensitivity towards lawn grass.
