Bald patch on belly

Ok Honey has a bold patch on her belly, thats quite large, its about the size of four of my fingers put together, and I have no idea why it would be there, it doesn't look sore, and the skin looks healthy and normal, and it doesn't seem to bothered by it, I was just wondering if anyone had any idea why she could of got it (longshot I know). Although tbh I don't know whether this could of been a ongoing thing, but I haven't noticed it before, although it is also near where the strap of her dog coat would be, and in the winter she wears that a lot

I will also take a photo of it to put on when I can find the cable to my camera so that you can see what I mean.

Hi

Both ours have a bald patch but Robbie's seems to be the biggest. Although I would say that it is on the widest part of his chest. It's just bare skin and looks normal. I think that most sighthounds have it as our first dog, Jack (a whippet) had one too.

Kyiro my greyhound has a big bald patch on his belly too. I've often wondered about it and I'm glad to hear he is not alone.

My labrador has one too, much more prominant in summer when he has no winter coat. He also has bald armpits :/
I'm pretty sure it's normal
