Shedding is a natural physiological process in the life of many breeds of dogs, associated with the change of their fur. This period can be important for the health and appearance of your four-legged friend. Let's look at what shedding is, when it happens and how to properly care for a dog during this period.
What is a molting:
Molting is the period when dogs lose their old coat and grow a new one. This process is natural and usually occurs twice a year - in spring and autumn.
The exact time of molting can vary by breed, age and climate, but in general spring molting is caused by changes in daylight hours, and autumn molts are caused by changes in temperature.
Symptoms of shedding:
Loss of large amounts of wool.
Changing the texture and color of the new coat.
Decrease in wool density during the molting period.
How to care for a dog during molting:
Regular combing helps to remove shed hair. There are special brushes and combs for dogs that will help you.
Healthy skin promotes proper shedding. Use shampoos and conditioners for dogs that do not cause skin irritation.
Features for some breeds:
Long-haired breeds such as the Afghan Hound or Scottish Setter may require more attention during shedding.
Short-haired breeds, such as the Boston Terrier or Boxer, also go through a shedding phase, but it may be less noticeable.
If you have any questions or notice any unexpected changes in your dog's coat, contact your veterinarian. This may indicate health problems.
