When does a pug change its hair?

Pug puppies usually start to moult their fetal hair 3-4 months after birth. This moulting period will last for several months. Some dogs moult faster and can end in one or two months. Some dogs moult slowly and are still shedding after three or four months. Faced with slow hair loss, owners should comb their dogs more often to promote hair replacement.
Adult Pug dogs will also shed their hair every spring, summer, autumn and winter. This is due to the influence of the climate. In spring, pugs will shed their thick winter hair and grow sparser hair to welcome the hot summer. In autumn, the sparse summer hair will fall off and thick hair will grow to resist the cold winter. The molting period in adulthood will be shorter than the molting period of lanugo, usually lasting more than a month.
During the pug’s moulting period, the owner should provide the pug with sufficient 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 the pug's hair every day, preferably two or three times a day to avoid tangled hair. Pug dogs 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 environment at home hygienic.
