Hi there and thank you for using Pet Coach! The cause of hair thinning could be from multiple causes. Allergies, metabolic disease, skin infection, hair coat thinning due to temperature change, etc. are all possibilities. I would recommend using a shampoo such as Douxo PS Calm shampoo. I would also recommend using Welactin Omega 3 fish oil and essential 6 spot on by dermoscent. I hope this helps! If the hair thinning worsens or does not improve, I would recommend having your vet take a look at Twixie for further diagnostic and treatment recommendations.
