Depending on the age and history of your dog, hair-loss can be caused by a number of things. Young dogs often get demodectic mange. It is a genetic condition that requires speedy treatment. Sarcoptic mange is another possibility. Sarcoptic mange is highly contagious to other dogs, and to humans and also requires speedy treatment. Both types of mange will cause secondary skin infections and can lower your dog's immune system leaving him prone to illness. Treatment requires a trip to the vet, so please do not try any of the old fashioned wives tale treatments as they can hurt your dog!
It is also possible that the hair loss is caused by something other than a parasite such as poor nutrition, some type of skin infection, Allergies, or stress. Regardless, a trip to the vet is in order.
Dry, flaky skin on a dog can be the sign of a couple of different problems. Atopecia could be to blame if the dry skin is accompanied by hair loss. Mange can be another cause of dry, scaly skin. To best find out what is doing on with your dog, see your veterinarian as soon as possible.
Take the dog to the vet. If it is scratching and losing fur the cause could be mange, which will continue to spread and is dangerous to the dog's health. This is usually seen in dogs who are outdoors a lot.
