When dogs or puppies lose an excessive amount of hair, it can indicate there is a disease in the skin. Unfortunately there are many different diseases that will cause hair loss and it is impossible to know which one is the cause without an exam and some diagnostics. Skin mites, ringworm (which humans can get) and bacterial infections are all common causes of hair loss. Depending on the cause, there are medications and medicated shampoos which can help. I recommend to play it safe and have your puppy examined by the veterinarian. Feeding a good diet will help with coat health in general. The brand I recommend is Royal Canin. An omega-3 fatty acid supplement for pets will also be beneficial. Best of luck.
