Round 3 ... this is Ralphie's 3rd summer. Summer = Allergies. In my past blogs I seemed mind- boggled by "why is Ralphie losing his hair". Right now Ralphie has the most gorgeous shiny red coat. No bare spots. Thick. I give him one fish oil vitamin every day...which he gobbles up like a special treat. I began feeding him in the midst of his hair loss last year grain-free Trout & Salmon limited ingredient Zignature kibble with a tablespoon of grain-free Evanger canned food. So if it were his food that was a problem in the past...it's solved. His beautiful coat reflects that.
Ralphie hasn't jumped in the pool yet this year. The bugs aren't a problem yet. This year will really determine what was the cause of his thinning hair in the past years. If he keeps his silky coat throughout this hot summer ... then it was his diet. If he starts losing hair during our hot, humid summer of swimming in the chlorinated pool ... then it's an allergy to chlorine with seasonal allergies.
I pray he maintains his thick shiny red coat this summer. He's always getting compliments, Not to brag about my fur baby, but he is the most handsome boy ever.
This is the year ... food allergies or seasonal allergies. We will see.
