Harley has bald patches on his head
My ten month old staffy harley has a lot of small bald patches on his. He is scratching a bit but not all the time. I have had him at vet and his skin scrapes came back negative for mites ?? Does anyone have any idea what is causeing this? Thanks

Hi & welcome.
How long has he had these bald patches?
Have you checked for any plants in your garden that he might be allergic to? Or any washing/cleaning stuff that he might be sensitive to?
What about his food? what are you feeding him?

His dam has some fawn. He has had them for a couple of weeks now. It started with a couple of small spots on his head. He is fed on James wellbeloved turkey and rice. He is not allowed near the plants as they are in raised beds.

Re: Harley has bald patches on his head
This may sound daft but he's not rubbing his head on anything thats making the patch, like a crate? Or have you used a different flea treatment? Just a thought.
Hi and welcome, I hope you get it sorted

Re: Harley has bald patches on his head
my pups were the same at around 6 months they got a wee bald patch , i was panicing incase they went bald, i worm and flea them regular and bath them with sensitive dog shampoo, i decided to take them to the vet and the vet said that this was common in staffies, as there hair is thinner at the top f there head and behind there ears, there hair is now grown back in , you could also try an antibiotic if u have any spare amoxicillin or cefalexin in the house , you can also buy dog antibitics on several websites
hope this helped
