Why is my husky puppy shedding and changing fur color at 3 months?

Hello, it looks like Lucky may be shedding his winter coat since it is starting to warm up. If he does have an active skin condition however, look for any sings of itchiness, anxiety, further hair loss, red skin, and scabs. Dogs with skin allergies may also bite and chew at their feet constantly, and environmental allergies are common during this time of the year. If you note any of these, then have lucky seen by his veterinarian as he may need medications. Please also make sure that he has monthly flea and tick control as fleas can also cause severe itchiness and hair loss, especially around his lower back, legs and belly. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Yes, a Husky's fur regularly changes color depending on the season and even age. Puppies tend to have a darker coat which lightens up as they age. Huskies also change the color of their fur in the winters and during shedding in the summer months. This may seem odd, but it is natural and nothing to worry about.

You really should have your vet check this out. The number one reason for hair loss and itchiness in puppies is mange. Of course there are other things that could cause this type of lesion. That is why you will need your vet to examine him. There is only so much we can tell you via the internet with a photo. ( https://www.petcoach.co/article/demodectic-mange/ )

It is possible shadow is starting to develop allergies. The most common type are flea, food and environment. However husky breed are prone to zinc deficiencies which affect their coat. I would recommend taking to a veterinarian to assess the skin. I would use flea prevention every 30 days to help with a possible allergy.

I'm sorry but it is difficult to tell anything from the photo. If there are no bald spots present them I am guessing it is normal shedding for that breed of dog. We call it "blowing their coat". Here is a great article on this problem: http://www.wideopenpets.com/coat-blow-what-it-is-and-how-to-manage-it/ If this still doesn't answer your question feel free to post again. With photos take one far away and one close up if there is a bald spot or problem area. Hope this helps. Best wishes!

No, this hair loss does not sound normal and it does not look normal in the picture. Reggie could have a skin infection, fungal infection, or mange among other things causing his hair loss. Without seeing him in person, I can't say for certain what is going on. He does need to see a vet to have this diagnose and treated. I recommend giving his vet a call now to make him an appointment. Best of luck.

Hi there and thank you for your post! Judging from the photos you have provided and seeing that Prince is a young dog, I would suspect demodex mites as the primary cause. Allergies is another possibility but I would have Prince examined by your vet to have the appropriate tests performed (such as a skin scraping to check for mites) to get Prince the most appropriate treatment. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I am also available via phone or text based consultation if needed.
