When does a Teddy start to grow its hair?

Usually, the fastest hair growth rate for a Teddy occurs between 4 and 5 months old, which varies from dog to dog. Some dogs may have more hair starting at 6 to 8 months, while others experience increased hair growth around 1 year of adulthood. During the hair growth process, owners can stimulate their dog's hair follicles through proper care and brushing, which helps improve hair growth and metabolism. Additionally, a reasonable diet can also enhance the health of a Teddy's hair.

I. Hair Growth Time

A Teddy's hair usually grows fastest at around 4 months, when the hair is still in the fetal stage, known as the "embarrassing period." The hair is soft and prone to change. However, the hair quality will gradually improve after the embarrassing period, becoming thicker and harder, making it more suitable for styling. Some dogs may have more hair starting at 6 to 8 months or even around 1 year of adulthood.

II. Methods to Promote Hair Growth

1. Bathing

When bathing your Teddy, use dog-specific shampoo and conditioner. After the bath, dry your dog immediately to prevent skin diseases caused by long-term dampness.appropriately. Secondly, expose your dog to sunlight. Since Teddies cannot go outside before completing their immunization, you can place them in a sunny spot during sunny days. Sunlight helps dogs absorb calcium better and kill bacteria and parasites with ultraviolet rays.

1. Brushing

To brush your dog's hair, prepare a pin brush and a comb or a regular dog brush (the finer and denser the comb's teeth, the better for normal hair metabolism). Use the pin brush to brush in reverse direction, row by row. This promotes hair follicle metabolism, and over time, you'll notice that multiple hairs grow from one follicle.

1. Reasonable Diet

Dog food is scientifically formulated and tastes delicious, providing comprehensive nutrition and being easy to digest and absorb. The salt content in dog food can fully meet a Teddy's needs. So, don't feed your dog human food or high-salt diets in daily life, as too much salt can lighten the dog's fur color and make it coarse. Also, avoid giving your dog too many treats to prevent picky eating. You can add some seaweed powder and lecithin to the dog food. Lecithin is a major component of cell membranes and helps repair damaged cell membranes, enhance cell function, activate body metabolism, prevent premature aging, and supplement essential fatty acids. This can effectively improve skin allergies and make the fur thick and shiny.
