Hair loss, or alopecia, on a dog's belly can be due to various reasons, ranging from relatively benign to more serious. Common causes include allergies (environmental or food-related), flea infestations, bacterial or fungal infections (like ringworm), hormonal imbalances (e.g., hypothyroidism, Cushing's disease), or even anxiety-related licking. Observe if there's any redness, itching, scabbing, or changes in skin texture. Without other symptoms, it can be hard to pinpoint the exact cause. A vet visit can help determine the underlying issue through skin scrapings, blood tests, or other diagnostics to ensure appropriate treatment.
