	Puppy losing fur Submitted by Kirbydo I have an 11 wk old puppy. She eats like a horse, runs, plays, barks and stays away from the cat. I have noticed the fur on her back and her legs are slowly disappearing. I have seen her clean her legs very often; and her skin and legs look completely fine (as well as the rest of her body) Could the hair loss be caused by stress due to our new home or maybe by boredom when I'm gone during the day? What should I do for her? >> Read Answer
