When does a Labrador shed its hair? Labradors will start to shed their lanugo hair when they are about 3 months old. Generally, the time to shed their lanugo hair is 3-6 months after birth; Labradors will shed their hair every year after they become adults. There will be 1-2 hair loss periods, mainly in spring and autumn; when Labradors are infected with skin diseases, hair loss will also occur.

When the Labrador is 3 months old, it will enter the period of molting its lanugo. The length of this stage will be determined based on the Labrador’s own condition. Some Labradors have not finished molting until 8 months old. Hair, some are completely replaced in less than 6 months. There will be individual differences, but in general, the general time for lanugo hair replacement is from 3 months to 6-8 months after birth.

Adult Labradoodles will shed hair 1-2 times a year, and this stage will last about 4-6 weeks. Mainly concentrated in spring and autumn, this is a normal physiological molt produced by Labradors in order to adapt to climate changes.

In addition, when Labradors are infected with skin diseases, they will also lose hair. Generally, it is necessary to use sterilizing and mite-removing drugs for treatment. Inexperienced owners are best to consult a veterinarian or take Labrador directly to the hospital for treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
