How long does it take for a Shiba Inu to moult? Under normal circumstances, a Shiba Inu begins to moult about 2 months after birth, and this stage lasts for 3-6 months. A healthy adult Shiba Inu will also undergo two physiological changes every year in order to adapt to climate change. The moulting occurs from March to May in spring and from September to November in autumn. The duration of moulting is about one month.

The hair of Shiba Inu after birth is relatively sparse, commonly known as "lanugo". Generally, when Shiba Inu grows to about 2 months old, it will start to change its lanugo. The duration of this molt may last from 2 months of age to 8 months of age. The duration of lanugo moulting is affected by climate, environment and growth conditions, and each Shiba Inu will be different.

A healthy adult Shiba Inu usually moults in the spring and autumn seasons. This is a normal moulting phenomenon and is a physiological response to adapt to the climate in the face of hot summer and cold winter. . The shedding period of a healthy Shiba Inu generally only lasts a few weeks. If the hair loss is severe and lasts for a long time, it may be due to improper feeding methods, or the dog has a skin disease. It is best to take the Shiba Inu as soon as possible. Go to the doctor.

During the moulting period, you should pay attention to supplement nutrition for the Shiba Inu. You can eat some hair-beautifying foods such as seaweed powder, cod liver oil, and lecithin powder. In addition to paying attention to diet, you also need to pay more attention to care and cleaning. During the moulting period, the Shiba Inu sheds a relatively large amount of hair, so the owner should comb the dog's hair more diligently, preferably several times a day, and clean up the shed hair in time to avoid tangles.
