Puppies are born with a single coat of soft, fluffy fur that helps regulate their body temperature. This coat naturally gives way to their adult coat, which is usually thicker and stiffer than their puppy coat.
Why is my puppys fur not soft?
Avoid bathing your puppy too often. Frequent bathing will strip the natural oil from the skin, and can make the fur dull. Unless he gets into something, a pup shouldn't need bathing more often than once a month.
How can I tell what kind of fur my puppy will have?
One of the best ways to tell if you have a thin and loose hair pup is to check whether or not their skin is easily visible through their dog hair. As they don't have as much fur to protect their sensitive skin, these dogs often need help, such as a warm jacket, when adjusting to harsher climates.
Will my puppy get fluffier?
Indeed, pups are blessed from birth with a heavenly smooth layer of sometimes woolly-like fur composed by individual hairs. Just like the hair in human infants, puppy fur is often softer, fluffier and shorter compared to the coarser, longer and occasionally darker, coat found in adult specimens.
