After golden retriever puppies are born, at about three months, they will begin to shed their fetal hair and gradually grow new hair. The duration of this stage will be determined based on the golden retriever's own condition. Some golden retrievers have not finished changing their hair until 8 months, and some have completely changed it in less than 6 months. This means that it leaves childhood and enters boyhood. During the period when golden retriever puppies are changing their fetal hair, owners must ensure that the golden retrievers receive sufficient nutrients such as protein, calcium, vitamins, and minerals, so that the hair can grow quickly and well.
It is worth mentioning that when a golden retriever reaches adulthood, there will be two hair shedding periods each year, in spring and autumn when the seasons change. This is a normal phenomenon as dogs adapt to climate change, and parents don’t need to worry.
During the molting period of golden retriever puppies, in addition to paying attention to nutritional supplements, you must also comb the golden retriever's hair every day and do a good job in environmental sanitation at home. The immunity of golden retrievers is relatively poor during the moulting period, and a large area of skin will be exposed, making it easy for parasites and bacteria to invade the body. Therefore, the owner must keep the home clean, as well as the dog's various utensils and kennels. Clean and expose regularly.
