My dog has large-area hair loss and is shedding frantically
Large shedding has many causes. Dogs molt twice a year (spring and autumn) in a whole-body regular pattern without itch or eczema. But local loss with itch, redness, scabs, or symmetric loss suggests fungal, bacterial, mite, nutritional, or endocrine skin disease. The photo shows large loss, redness, and scabs on the hindquarters, likely pathological from skin disease; see a vet and do not feed human food, keep coat clean.

Treat the cause: cold medicine, remove the object, medicate the skin, or just redirect its attention.
