How many months does the Border Collie moult? The Border Collie will start to shed its lanugo 3-4 months after birth. Generally, this molting period lasts for six months; the adult Border Collie also moults every spring, summer, autumn and winter. They will moult, which lasts for about one or two months; during the moulting period, Border Collie should pay attention to frequent combing and ensure balanced nutrition.

When a Border Collie puppy is 3 or 4 months old, it will shed its lanugo hair and gradually grow its adult hair. This lanugo-changing stage usually lasts until six months. However, some Schnauzers develop relatively slowly, and it is normal for them to still molt at eight months of age.

Healthy adult border colts will molt twice a year, mostly in spring and autumn, that is, from March to May and September to November. This is a seasonal molt, which won’t last as long as the lanugo molt, but will last about a month or two. At this stage, you should comb the dog's coat once a day in the morning and evening to remove the shed hair on the dog's body in time and promote the healthy growth of the hair.

The moulting period requires a lot of energy and comprehensive nutritional supplements. In order to keep the Border Collie's fur healthy and shiny, parents need to pay attention to the supply of nutrients such as protein, vitamins, minerals, calcium, etc., and they need to maintain a comprehensive and rich nutrition. And during the period when the Border Collie is moulting, parents should try to take the dog out as little as possible. If they must go out, the dog must not go into the grass to avoid being infected with lice, fleas and other parasites.
