Pets can experience hair loss for many reasons. If you are noticing bald areas, redness to the skin, scabs or flaky skin, Joy could have a skin infection, need a different diet or an omega 3 supplement for pets. If you don't see any signs of pathology, this may be normal shedding. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
