Why is my pit bull losing hair on his neck and stomach since moving?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Male | neutered | 1 year and 6 months old | 30 lbs

I moved to Arkansas in June, ever since then my pitty has been losing hair on his neck and stomach. I've tried changing his shampoo, but it's still happening. He's not scratching or anything.

Even though Emmitt doesn’t seem itchy he could have an allergy, potentially to something in the environment since this is new since you’ve moved. External parasites like fleas or mites would be another possibility. I’d recommend having your vet examine Emmitt to determine what’s going on.
