What are the causes of Pug dogs having spotty hair loss?

Posted by admin
CGH asked:


I know that Pugs are not supposed to live outside, but we have no choice unfortunately. We did construct a very nice, large insulated, heated and air conditioned dog house for them. They get their shots, worm medicines, flea and tick prevention, good food and fresh water. They are played with and loved a great deal.
I recently shaved both pugs, like they do at the groomers, and I was saddened to see that the somewhat spotty coat I noticed on one of the pugs prior to shaving her was much worse looking than I had thought. The shaving revealed the extent of the patchy hair loss. I very rarely ever see them scratching themselves, so I don’t know if it hurts or is uncomfortable for her.
What would be some probably causes of this?
