This phenomenon comes after the puppy has lost all of its baby teeth and has replaced with adult ones

Considered a gradual process, the puppy coat shedding is a normal procedure

[{"selector":"#anim-6886141c-4ede-4df4-be27-24cfd1326004","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-207ccb67-1ac4-4b4c-99a4-d7c6a6b830c7","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(112.38670%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image source: Unsplash Image source: Unsplash spanieldogs.com spanieldogs.com

This means upon reaching the right age, their puppy coat will start shedding which can be either relatively slow or fast paced

[{"selector":"#anim-6829cbfd-d776-4d80-9896-79642c407b1d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4335d8c9-d60a-4f59-917f-e40c84c23976","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(112.38670%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image source: Unsplash Image source: Unsplash spanieldogs.com spanieldogs.com

Depending upon the process of losing their puppy coat, some pups may seem disheveled while others may not show any visible changes

However no matter the pace, pawrents need to maintain a regular combing habit during the whole process

[{"selector":"#anim-453554ba-0c49-4bab-aa5a-6e3cb41ccfb5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-94f4883d-5d5e-41c9-a265-aa62739ea976","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(112.38670%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image source: Unsplash Image source: Unsplash spanieldogs.com spanieldogs.com

This is to prevent lose fur from scattering everywhere and creating further mess in your home

[{"selector":"#anim-152ed0d1-db9b-4895-9124-e91dd92638a4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8f5abe48-2ee9-4c39-9955-d4a0210336e7","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(112.38670%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image source: Unsplash Image source: Unsplash spanieldogs.com spanieldogs.com
