Recurrent flank alopecia is described in a 2‐year‐old, male, neutered Tibetan Terrier with concurrent atopic dermatitis. The diagnosis of recurrent flank alopecia was made after 3 consecutive years of localised, winter‐onset alopecia. The diagnosis was based on history, compatible clinical signs and supportive histopathology The diagnosis was complicated by the presence of concurrent pruritic dermatitis. To our knowledge this is the first report of recurrent flank alopecia in this breed.
