I have a 3 month old puppy. He is 85% Pitbull and 15% Doberman. I noticed these very small bald patches on his fur. What is this? And what is the cause of this?

Thank you for contacting Petcoach with your question about Simba and for providing a picture, it's very helpful. I see what you mean about these bald patches. They don't look red or irritated, and the fur loss may be from an injury or a skin infection. Without seeing him in person, I can't say for sure. I do think it's worth getting checked out by a vet, so I would call his vet now to make him an appointment. I hope this helps!
