When do Chow Chows shed their hair?
Generally, Chow Chows will undergo the period of lanugo hair replacement when they are three months old. The period of lanugo hair replacement is relatively long and usually lasts for 3-6 months until the Chow Chow is 8 or 9 years old. The lanugo hair is completely replaced when the baby is one month old. The change of fetal hair is a relatively long hair loss period. It only happens once in a Chow Chow's life, so owners don't have to worry too much.
Adult Chow Chows will undergo two hair sheddings each year, around March to May in spring and September to November in autumn. This seasonal hair shedding time is much shorter than the time for lanugo hair shedding, about It can be completed in a month or two. In spring, Chow Chow will shed its dense hair and grow sparse summer hair to welcome the hot summer; in autumn, Chow Chow will shed its sparse summer hair and grow thick winter hair to adapt to the cold winter.
During the moulting period, it is best to comb the Chow Chow's hair once or twice a day. In addition to combing, you should also pay attention to supplementing calcium, protein and vitamins in the diet. The food should be light and easy to digest, so that it is good for the Chow Chow. It is more beneficial for dog hair growth.
