When do young German Shepherds change their lanugo? Young German Shepherds change their lanugo about 3-4 months after birth. Each young German Shepherd has a different physique and growth environment, so the time for changing its lanugo will also be slightly different. The period of changing its lanugo is relatively similar. It lasts about 3-5 months. It is best to comb the young German Shepherd every day during the molting period.

Young German shepherd dogs usually start to shed their lanugo hair 3-4 months after birth. This shedding period will last for several months. Some dogs shed their hair faster and it can end in one or two months. My dog ​​moults slowly and is still shedding after three or four months. Faced with slow hair loss, owners should comb their dogs more often to promote hair replacement.

It is worth mentioning that adult Samoyeds will also molt when spring, summer, autumn and winter alternate each year. This is due to the influence of climate. The molting period in adulthood will be shorter than the molting period of lanugo, usually lasting more than a month.

During the puppy's moulting period, the owner should provide the puppy with adequate nutrition. You can feed the dog some hair-beautifying nutrients, such as seaweed powder, lecithin powder, etc. In addition to paying attention to nutritional supplements, you should also comb your puppy's hair every day, preferably two or three times a day to avoid tangled hair. Young German Shepherds have poor immunity during the molting period, and a large area of ​​their skin will be exposed, making them susceptible to parasites and bacteria. Therefore, owners must keep the home environment hygienic.
