Question
My doggy is at the age of 6 months (golden labrador) and recently he is having excessive hair fall. i even thought of skin disease but there is no such symptoms of skin desease. now tell me how should i cure him???

Answer
Some puppies lose hair and then it regrows.  Other pups have mange mites that affect the hair follicles and cause hair loss.  Still others may have a food allergy that will cause skin problems. You should have the pup checked by a veterinarian to see if there is a problem.
