The solution to the dog eating hair:
1. If it is found that the dog has swallowed the hair, you can immediately feed the dog some soapy water, induce vomiting, and spit out the hair.

2. If the dog only eats a small amount of hair, generally there will be no major problems. Feed the dog some water to promote gastrointestinal motility, and the hair will usually be excreted in the body with the stool.
3. If the dog eats a lot of hair, you can feed it an appropriate amount of hair cream to help it excrete the hair in the body.
4. You can also feed some probiotics to the dog to regulate the stomach, promote digestion, and help it expel the hair.
5. If the dog eats a lot of hair and it is difficult to expel it, it should be sent to the pet hospital for treatment in time.
Ways to avoid dog licking fur:
1. The owner usually combs the dog's hair more often to clean up the fallen hair, so as to prevent the dog from licking the hair frequently.
2. If the dog lacks trace elements in its body, it will lick its fur and swallow foreign objects, so it should be supplemented with element tablets in time.
3. If there are parasites on the dog, it will also cause it to lick the body frequently, so the dog should be dewormed regularly.
4. When the dog is bored, it will unconsciously lick its own hair. The owner should often play with it, or prepare some toys for it to pass the time.

5. If the dog suddenly licks fur frequently, it may be that a certain part of the body is injured. The owner should check the dog's body in time. If there is any injury, it should be sent to the hospital for treatment in time.
