Many owners don’t pay too much attention to whether they need to shave their Bichon Frize’s fetal hair, because when the dog grows to a certain age, the soft and messy fetal hair will automatically fall off, and then healthy and thick new hair will grow. Of course, some owners choose to shave their Bichons at once because the hair sheds too slowly and in order to reduce the trouble caused by hair loss in dogs.

The best time to shave the fetal hair of a Bichon Frize is after it is 5 months old. Because under the premise of normal feeding and normal development, a dog's fetal hair will generally grow until about 5 months old, and then the fetal hair will fall out around 5 months of age. At this time, parents can choose to shave the dog's fetal hair. Of course, it's perfectly fine to let it fall off on its own.

It should be noted that shaving the fetal hair of the Bichon Frize is to reduce the trouble of hair loss and shorten the time of dog hair removal. It is not to make the Bichon Frize’s new hair grow thicker and healthier. Because the quality, thickness and breed of the Bichon Frize's hair are directly determined by the genetic genes of the parents and have nothing to do with how many times the dog's lanugo is shaved. After the dog begins to shed its fetal hair at the age of 5 months, new hair will gradually grow between the ages of 6 and 7 months, and it will gradually show the charming state that a Bichon Frize should have.
