My dog has a small bald spot on his neck...any suggestions?

This happened right after we got him about 8 months ago. It is very small but the hair never grew back, although there is no redness and he has been healthy since we have had him. He is a 1 year old pit mix...

You should go to his vet and see what they can do or think of what it is.

It could be possible that he lays on it all the time. My lab used to have bald spots of thick skin on her elbows because of the way she laid on them. Or maybe something he does causes him to rub it against something.

Depending on where the area is, it could possibly be from being vaccinated. Sometimes when animals are vaccinated, generally with the rabies vaccine, they have an area that just wont grow hair. It's not uncommon and generally not threatening to your pet. I would ask your Veterinarian what he/she thinks, they would be able to tell you exactly what it could be from. I hope this helps :)

Could it be from the leash or tags? Hard to say really. Take him to the vet and see what they say. Better to be safe than sorry. But sounds like something might be rubbing against it a lot and gradually taking the fur off. But try the vet and get a more professional statement.

My dog had the same problem but on a much larger scale. I put her on Aloe Vera pills (1 a day) hidden in a small amount of meat so they gobble it without tasting the pill. And 1 tablespoon of liquid DoggieDophilus mixed in about 2 - 3 tablespoons of vanilla or plain yogurt every day. Both can be found in a healthfood store. This boosts the immune system and promtes the hair to grow back in. It works. It may take some time but be consistant. Good Luck!
