My poor yorkipoo is balding on one side. What could be causing this?

There is no such breed as "yorkipoo". You have a Yorkshire Terrier x Poodle. Hopefully you got that particular mutt from a shelter and not a BYB or mill.

You said it yourself that the dog has allergies. Dogs with allergies loose fur. That was kind of a no-brainer if you ask me. Stop feeding her whatever you are feeding her and start on a diet of cooked meat and vegetables (or raw, depends on you). Slowly introduce new things to the diet to find out what is causing the allergy, then remove the allergen all together. Once the allergen is removed the hair should start to grow back.

Also shorten her walks. It is an allergy season so the allergen could be environmental. Maybe your vet will give the dog an allergy shot. Once the shot is administered the hair should grow back on its own after a while.


Alopecia is another possibility but allergies seem like it is more of a probability since the dog has known allergies
