How to Treat Hair Loss in Horses

What Causes Hair Loss in Horses?

The truth is, hair loss in horses is pretty common. It isn’t to go without concern, but most of the time it’s simply the horse rubbing an itchy area. Or having a fungal or bacterial skin issue. And occasionally they may have something internal going on.

External tends to be easy to see. It usually shows up with dry, flaky skin and turns the bald spot on your horse. Sometimes you see them scratching that area. Other times, they can be caused by a bug bite. Without any of these signs, it’s recommended to talk to your vet. Because you need to consider the possibility of diet, cushings, allergies, pineal gland issues, hormonal imbalances or other possible culprits.

How does COAT DEFENSE® treat bald spots?

The ingredients in COAT DEFENSE®products stop itching and rubs with three knockout punches.
