Look up seasonal alopecia. My boxer has this and the vet says there is nothing that can be done about it once it starts. It happened last year and his hair all grew back...so far this year he still has thin spots and looks really patchy. We plan on starting him on medicine at the end of the year and hope it doesn't get any worse next year. It doesn't bother him and his skin is perfectly fine...he just isn't as pretty!!!
