Gentle Leader caused dog hair loss. Will it grow back? How to help?

I started using a gentle leader on my dog and I realized I was having it on too tight and now he has a small line of hair loss due to the scarping of the gentle leader. Will his hair grow back and what can i do to help promote it; take care of it. Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | neutered | 1 year and 2 months old | 60 lbs

Thank you for contacting Pet Coach with your question about Lobo. The hair will grow back, just make sure the gentle leader isn't too tight. You can add some fish oil to his diet to see if that helps. For every 30 pounds of body weight, give him 1,000 mg fish oil containing 300 mg of EPA/DHA combined. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
