    I have a 2year old chocolate Labrador, last year he lost the fur around his eyes.The pet centre we use sent some of his fur away for some tests and found he was allergic to chicken turkey and some other things, we worked with the pest centre to pick the right dry food. The food didn’t help and ended up at the vets and put on steroids.But the same thing happened again this year but a lot worse again the fur loss around the eyes and this time fur loss on the legs excessive scratching flaky skin. Again treated with steroids and some other tablets which helped but we are not getting to the route cause of the problem. Has anyone got any advice

    Hi
    I have no experience of this but if you put “hair loss”into the search bar at the top it should come up with old threads which may help

    If it's happening once a year at about the same time my guess would be it's seasonal/environmental.
