Question by Green eyed princess: My german shepherd has 2 bald spots next to his eye and on his snout. Is this a disease?
He’s six months old eats healthy – doesnt shed too much. The one near his eye is a clear white skin showing bald patch and the one on his snout is also almost clearly skin showing. Is this something i shouldn’t worry about? I have two pups – could the other one have been constantly biting his hair off from this part of his snout and eye? Has anyone else noticed this happenning?

She is experiencing hair loss, itching and sores. She is not around other animals and she is flea free. She is usually bathed weekly, except in the winter. She is also kept inside the house and is let out to exercise and potty.

For those of you who buy store bought brands such as Iams, Pedigree, and Purina etc. from wal-mart need to switch to these quality food brands, Why? you ask…well, Putrid road kill and uethenized animals are brought by the truck load to factories that grind their bodies up into a soup and add chemicals or there already are chemicals in the naste of bodies. They take the fat off the top of this “soup” and sell it to dog and cat food making companies. These companies combine it into their food and add it as animal fat. They also add toxins that can be deadly like EQ better known as ethoxyquin, which is a deadly chemical. These pet food company also adds fillers such as soy, corn and wheat that are NOT essential to your dogs health and this also means your dog isn’t getting enough and the right amount of vitamins and protein they need a day, there for they eat more to feel ful. This means your also buying more and more pet food when if you had the quality brands you wouldn’t be buying pet food as often as you do. Please avoid these brands;
Iams
Pedigree
Purina
Ol’ Roy
Alpo
Eukanuba
Royal Canin
Kibbles ‘n Bits
And one of the crappiest dog brands is, Science Diet
These also cause a higher chance to your breeds congenital defects, they cause liver and kidney damage, Cancerous skin lesions, hair loss, blindness, leukemia, fatal abnormalties and cronic diarrhea. EQ also gives immune deficiency snydrom; spleen, stomach and liver cancers and a host of allergies.
Why does my vet recommend it then? Your vet and most vets aren’t familiar with the dog brand foods and these horrible dog brand companies actually pay your vet to sponser them and for telling people their vet recommended people will think its safe. Most don’t know what they are doing, but I highly wish they did so they would stop!!! Proven fact, if you don’t believe me then LOOOK IT UP!!!
Please use these brands;
Canidae
Innova
Wellness
Merrick
Evo
Timberwolf Organics
Taste of the Wild
Natures Variety
Nurto Natural Choice
Chicken soup for the puppy lovers soul
Solid gold
Eagle Pack (but only if it’s holistic)
