There are a number of reasons for fur loss in canines. The most obvious is normal shedding. Some breeds of dogs shed copiously only twice a year, while others do so year-round. Also, stress, such as illness, hunger or mistreatment, can make an animal lose fur, or even pull hair from its body with its teeth. Another reason is hypothyroidism, or low thyroxin levels. A more serious cause of fur loss is mange, a condition caused by one of two different kinds of mite.
