My Rhodesian Ridgeback seems to be losing some small patches of hair along his ridge and back area..

Does anyone know why or what makes this occur?

Will the small areas that have lost the hair grow back?

He is pure bred. 15 mos. old. Not neutered. Diet is: Innova and vegtables, yogurt, apple cider vinegar, vit E and vegtable oil.

Thank you in advance.

bring him to the vet and have them do a skin scraping...It could get worse,,so the sooner the better!

Give him a little bit of dog food once a week and see what happens.

Your dog could have some kind of skin problem, or it could be fleas and your dog could just be itching or biting the area a lot. Go to a vet and check it out. You never know when it could be serious.

my dog had "hot spots" sensitive due to type of food, shampoo or whatever effects their skin, while to them it itches and they bite their selves and hair comes off and redness, it grew back while we put aloe vera on it.
