The Chihuahua’s short hair, round apple head, and big eyes make it look like a slippery elf. All dogs shed their hair, and the same goes for short-haired Chihuahuas.

There are many reasons for Chihuahua hair loss. Seasonal hair loss is normal. Chihuahuas will shed their hair in spring and autumn to meet changes in environmental temperature. Other situations are abnormal. If you often feed your Chihuahua human food, your Chihuahua will lose its hair, because it needs different salts than humans, and too much salt accumulated in the body will cause hair loss. Another kind is that dogs suffer from skin diseases, such as skin diseases caused by mites, fleas and other parasites, and skin diseases such as eczema caused by fungi, which are more troublesome.

When a Chihuahua is losing hair, you must first determine the cause and then treat it. If it is salty, do not give the dog human food. Feeding it more vegetables can effectively alleviate the problem. If your Chihuahua suffers from parasites, you can use a deworming collar, which is very effective. If you have mites, pay attention to the dog's physical hygiene, which can effectively prevent and treat them. If it is serious, go to the hospital for a diagnosis, and injections and medicines will do. Fungal hair removal requires careful treatment in the hospital. Do not use medication randomly, as it may cause problems.
