Simba could have a parasites such as fleas, demodex, or scapies causing hair loss. Some of these would make him itchy too, but some would not. A vet can look for these parasites during an exam with some simple testing. In terms of the food, I don't recommend a vegetarian food for dogs. But I also doubt a vegetarian diet would cause hair loss unless Simba was already really sick from it. So probably unrelated. Do switch to a regular puppy food with meat if at all possible.
