There are a lot of things that can cause hair loss, Thyroid problems is another one but they do usually have weight gain as well as the hair loss.

A flea allergy will definitely do it too like Aurora said, I have spent the last few MONTHS trying to get them out of my house and I think I have only just succeeded.

Flea baths are worthless, go for a spot on treatment, those are the ones you put on the back of the dogs neck they then spread over their whole body via the oils on their skin and last for a month.
