How good nutrition can reduce hair loss in dogs

At Picart, as a family business with more than 70 years of experience in animal nutrition, we know that nutrition is much more than a daily routine: it is health, well-being… and yes, also beauty.

One of the most common problems that caregivers bring to us is excessive hair loss. And although it may seem inevitable, the truth is that a good diet can make a big difference.

Why does your dog’s hair fall out?

Hair loss in dogs can be due to different causes. Some are natural and temporary, such as seasonal shedding, while others may be related to stress, allergies or inadequate nutrition.

Seasonal shedding: the natural coat cycle

During the spring and fall, dogs change their coat to adapt to the weather. This is what we call “shedding”, and although it is completely normal, it can be somewhat uncomfortable at home: hair on the bed, sofa, clothes…

At this stage, a balanced diet can help reinforce the new coat and minimize excessive shedding, making the process more bearable for you and healthier for him.

Stress: more than a state of mind

Did you know that nerves also affect the coat? Stress in dogs can manifest itself in many ways, and one of them is abnormal hair loss. Changes in routine, prolonged loneliness or noisy environments can upset their emotional balance.

A diet rich in essential nutrients can help strengthen their nervous system and reduce the effects of stress, contributing to a stronger, less brittle coat.

Food allergies: the invisible enemy

Another important factor is inadequate nutrition or food with ingredients that are not well tolerated. Food allergies often manifest themselves in the skin: itching, redness… and hair loss.

The good news is that changing your diet can be the quickest and most effective solution. Opting for hypoallergenic foods or specific formulations with selected ingredients helps eliminate adverse reactions and significantly improves your dermatological health.

What kind of foods help reduce hair loss?

A quality diet, with functional ingredients, can reinforce the health of your dog’s skin and coat from within. At Picart we work with natural, carefully balanced formulas containing:

Omega 6

Rich source of linoleic acid, essential to keep the skin moisturized, the coat shiny and prevent skin conditions such as seborrhea.

Premium range animal protein

Hair is mostly composed of protein. Therefore, offering foods with highly bioavailable animal protein reinforces the hair structure, making it stronger and more resistant.

These two keys, combined with vitamins, minerals and natural antioxidants, form the basis of our superpremium range feeds.
