Hi all,

I noticed that the fur around my pups eyes are quite thin. There is fur but It is thinner that the fur around other areas of his head. Can you maybe have some advice on this?  Blushing  

Thanks

Has it always been thin, or is this recent?

The hair around the eyes is usually a little thinner than the rest of the head/body.

Thanks for the reply. It looks like it has increased a bit over the past few weeks. Not sure if this is just how it should look? I added another photo.

It is usually thinner around that area, Vins is now even and he is 3 and a half nearly. Just keep an eye on it if it gets worse pop along to vets Smile
