My Spitz is 4 years old and has developed some hair loss on his lower back and behind his legs. He isn't scratching, but his skin is very dry with dandruff.

    Hi there. My approach is always the same: understanding the cause of this condition alongside the symptoms. Keep us posted and share a photo if you can, as it would help us understand the situation better.

    Hi, Hair loss along with dry skin and dandruff can be caused by several different things. Even if your dog isn't scratching, I’d recommend seeing your vet so they can examine their skin and determine the cause. In the meantime, avoid applying any products without advice from your vet.
