Is your puppy experiencing its first coat change and you are unsure what to do? At alphazoo we explain everything you need to know about coat changes in puppies.

Understanding the coat change

Shedding is a natural process in which your puppy exchanges his fluffy puppy coat for the coarser adult coat. This process usually begins between 4 and 6 months of age.

Breed differences in coat change

Remember that the shedding process can be different for each dog breed. For example, dogs with thick fur may take longer to shed than dogs with short fur.

Pay attention to changes in your puppy's coat

During the shedding period, you may notice changes in your dog's coat. It may look drier and dull as the new, adult coat comes through.

Support your puppy's coat change

Routine care, such as brushing and bathing with puppy shampoo , is especially important during the shedding period. Brushing removes dead hair and helps the new coat grow faster.

Nutrition and coat change

A high-quality, balanced diet is crucial to helping your puppy through the shedding process. Good nutrients support the healthy growth of your puppy's new coat.
