When does a Satsuma moult? The Sammo moults around 3-4 months after birth, and the moulting period may last up to six months; the moulting period for adult dogs occurs approximately in the spring and autumn seasons of each year, and generally lasts One to two months; hair shedding is a normal phenomenon, and the owner can supplement Samoyed with lecithin to promote hair growth.

The Samoyed’s hair is thick and slender. Generally, it will replace its lanugo around 3-4 months after birth, which means it enters the teenage years.

When the Samoyed reaches adulthood, it will shed its hair in the two seasons of spring and autumn, which is what we commonly call shedding.

During the molting period of Satsuma, nutritional supply is very important. Satsuma's hair growth has a high demand for nutrients, so owners must strengthen their dog's nutritional supplements during this period. For this reason, in addition to feeding dog food to Samoyeds during this period, it is also necessary to make more foods rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients for dogs to eat, such as fish, apple puree, soybeans and other foods. When feeding, you should also mix some lecithin appropriately for the dog to eat, which will be of great help to the hair growth of Satsuma.

Also maintain good environmental hygiene at home. Because Satsuma's resistance and immunity are not very good during the molting period, it is easy for parasites to invade the body, such as fleas, lice, etc. Therefore, during this period, the owner should pay attention to maintaining good environmental hygiene and doing some sterilization and disinfection work. This lasts until about 8 months, and then it will slowly grow new hair. When the dog is 1 or 2 years old, his hair will officially start to grow, and then he can take care of his hair.
