Many dog owners suddenly notice bald spots on their four-legged friend's neck. While this may seem harmless, it is often a warning sign of skin irritation. Early care is crucial to prevent worsening.
Bald spots from dog collars: Typical symptoms
- Smooth, bald spots under the collar
- Redness or irritated skin
- Itching and increased scratching
- Flaky or dry skin
- Slight crusting in cases of severe irritation
The problem is more common than thought and can quickly worsen if the collar continues to exert pressure on the irritated skin.
Causes: Collar leaves bald spots
The bald spots arise from a combination of mechanical irritation and skin sensitivity:
- Friction from a collar that is too tight or stiff – constant pressure can damage hair follicles
- Moisture and sweat – wet or damp areas under the collar promote skin irritation
- Allergies – collar material (e.g., nylon, leather) can cause allergic reactions
- Infections – bacteria or fungi can enter through small skin lesions
- Dog's protective mechanism – increased scratching worsens the bald spots
Recognizing the causes helps to take the right measures and protect the skin in the long term.
