There are 3 other mammals that experience pattern baldness.
Other than humans, only three other mammals are known to experience pattern baldness like we do: the stump-tailed macaque, a primate that lives in Asia, and two dog species, the dachshund and the greyhound.

One of the main reasons why other animals do not have issues with baldness as they need the fur/hair to survive, so not having the protection would not allow them to reproduce successfully.
