Thinning Coats & Hair Loss in Dogs
A Beauty + Wellness Approach to Restoring Coat Vitality with Ozone HydroSpa + Iv San Bernard Mineral H
A dog’s coat is more than fur—it’s a living reflection of wellness. When you notice thinning, dullness, excessive shedding, or slow regrowth, it can feel like something is “off.” And often, it is—because coat vitality begins at the skin.
At KLŌS Fine Pet Salon, we don’t chase quick cosmetic fixes. We support the coat the way you’d support healthy hair in a true spa setting: by nurturing the foundation. Our CoatCare-first philosophy blends therapeutic bathing with high-performance dermo-cosmetics to help bring the coat back to life—soft, balanced, and resilient.
Our signature approach for thinning coats combines:
- Ozone HydroSpa Therapy (our healing-water CoatCare ritual)
- Iv San Bernard Mineral H (Mineral Complex line) (targeted coat-strengthening dermo-cosmetics)
The difference between “shedding” and “thinning”
Many pet parents say “shedding,” but what they’re seeing may be one of three things:
If you’re noticing bald spots, uneven patches, or skin changes, it’s worth taking seriously—and we can help you decide what you’re seeing.
Why coats lose their “fullness” (and why it’s rarely just one reason)
Thinning coats are usually a combination of factors. Some of the most common include:
- Skin sensitivity or allergies (environmental or food-related)
- Micro-imbalances (yeast/bacterial shifts that affect comfort and shedding)
- Parasite exposure (even mild flea exposure can trigger coat fallout)
- Hormonal changes (thyroid/adrenal patterns)
- Stress licking or localized irritation
- Friction and compression (harness rub, collars, matting, tight tangles)
In beauty and wellness terms: the coat can’t glow when the skin barrier is overwhelmed.
The KLŌS CoatCare Ritual for Thinning Coats
At KLŌS, thinning coats aren’t treated with harsher “deshedding” solutions. We focus on restoration—supporting the skin barrier and creating an environment where the coat can feel lush again.
Step 1: Ozone HydroSpa Therapy — a reset for the skin and coat
Ozone HydroSpa is one of our most loved CoatCare therapies because it’s designed to support a cleaner, calmer skin environment while elevating the experience beyond routine bathing.
Think of it as a spa-grade reset:
- Releases buildup that can dull the coat
- Supports overall skin comfort
- Prepares the coat to receive high-performance dermo-cosmetics more effectively
Step 2: Iv San Bernard Mineral H — targeted dermo-cosmetics for coat vitality
We use Iv San Bernard (ISB) because they approach pet care like luxury skincare—purpose-built formulas for the unique biology of animals. For thinning coats, Mineral H is one of our most intentional lines.
Mineral H Shampoo
The foundation cleanse. This is the cleansing step we reach for when the coat is dull, fragile, or “letting go” too easily. It supports a more intentional cleanse—without treating every coat like it needs the same routine.

Supportive care at the skin level. When thinning is more pronounced or regrowth feels slow, Reinforce Hair Lotion is a supportive step focused on strengthening and regrowth support while leaving the coat softer and more polished.
View ProductVitamin H Hair Lotion
Volume, shine, and “life” restored. When the coat looks flat or lifeless, Vitamin H brings back that fresh-blowout feeling—volume, bounce, and shine—while still supporting coat revitalization goals.

Coat restoration is a process—and that’s good news, because it means it’s buildable. Most pet parents notice changes in this order:
The key is consistency—because coat vitality isn’t a one-time service. It’s a wellness rhythm.

Start by identifying whether it’s seasonal shedding, coat breakage, or true hair loss. If there are bald patches, skin irritation, or worsening loss, see your vet. For supportive beauty + wellness care, consistent CoatCare—like Ozone HydroSpa combined with targeted dermo-cosmetics such as ISB Mineral H—can help support the skin environment and improve coat vitality over time.
Grooming supports the skin and coat environment (clean follicles, less buildup, healthier coat integrity). While it’s not a replacement for medical treatment, consistent CoatCare can complement a vet plan and improve how the coat looks, feels, and performs.
Mineral H is used as targeted dermo-cosmetic support for pets experiencing coat dullness, dandruff, and hair-loss concerns—supporting a stronger-looking coat, improved shine, and revitalized texture when used consistently.
