Could Hair Loss And Itchiness Of Pets Transmissable To Humans?
I have a dog & 2 cats, all of which seem to always itch & lose hair. They pull out they re hair sometimes, unlike your typical grooming. Could this be associated with the infected hair conditions & if so, could this have been spread to humans or visa versa?
