    hey so my 10 month old black lab puppers has a bald spot and several places where her hair is thin on her right side. We had her in a fenced area in the garden which was hard to keep dry because it rains so much. We thought that that might be the issue; her being wet too much, so we moved her to a kennel that is higher up on a hill and put fresh pine shavings in her Igloo.
    In addition to that are they any supplements I could try giving her to grow her hair back? She seems otherwise very healthy; tons of energy eats her food twice and day and her poo is soft but not not too soft.
    Is there anything else it might be? I'm trying to do what I can at home before taking her to the vet:)

    Hi @Lylah H and welcome. It sounds as if a trip to the vet for a check over as there are several reasons for hair loss/bald patches and only a vet is qualified to diagnose.

    Just a thought - if she is on her own during the day in a run/kennel she may be bored and frustrated, and may be rubbing herself against something? Definite trip to the vet, and bring her into the house where you can keep an eye on her.
