What should I do if my Teddy's fur becomes lighter? What is the reason why my Teddy's fur turns white?

Teddy is a kind of pet dog. There are different types of Teddy dogs according to their colors, such as black and brown. Over time, some owners will find that the color of Teddy's fur becomes lighter and whiter. So what is the reason?

What to do if Teddy's fur becomes lighter

At present, only Teddy bears will lose color, and only brown Teddy bears will lose color. First of all, we need to see what causes the color of Teddy bears to become lighter.

If it is a genetic problem, it cannot be changed later in life. Of course, dyeing is an exception. If it is a puppy born from mating a Teddy with a different color, the color may be very dark when it is young, but as it grows older, the color will become lighter and lighter. If this is the case, no matter how you supplement nutrition, the color will only become lighter and lighter.

Another situation is malnutrition.

If the color fade is caused by malnutrition, this can be solved through nutritional supplements. The more economical ones are egg yolks and lecithin. If you have money, you can just use fish oil or fish meat.

Why does Teddy's hair turn white?

As Teddy grows older, his hair begins to become lighter due to factors such as excessive salt intake, malnutrition, inappropriate bath lotion, and genetic instability.

The main reason is the unreasonable nutritional combination in daily life. After the body shape of this breed stabilizes at around six or seven months old, the owner usually spoils it, causing it to be particularly greedy, eating snacks or following people for meals every day, resulting in malnutrition, which causes the color to become lighter and white hair to appear.

Not only Teddy dogs, but all breeds can suffer from malnutrition. However, for Teddy dogs, malnutrition can be seen at a glance from their coat color.

Teddy is a special dog. Eating dog food alone cannot meet its nutritional needs. It needs to eat meat every day. Chicken breast is the best choice. If you are not allergic, you can also eat shrimp or fish. These can be cooked in plain water without any seasoning.

Why does Teddy's fur fade?

1. For dogs like Teddy, color has a great influence on whether it is pure or not, so some unscrupulous merchants will dye the puppies. Generally, such dyed dogs can be distinguished in more than a month.

2. Due to genetic reasons, the color of some Teddy's parents is not very dark, so the color of this dog will not be very dark either.

3. Human food has a strong taste and high salt content. Dogs will lose their fur color if they eat salty food. Generally speaking, Teddy's fur loses color due to this reason.

4. Using human shampoo can also cause the color of the Teddy to fade. This is because the pH value of the dog's skin and hair is very different from that of humans. In addition, human shampoo is highly alkaline because it removes hair oil. When used on dogs, it will not only cause the color to fade, but also the hair to fall off.

5. All dogs will lose color as they age, except for white dogs. Regular use of trace element tablets can alleviate the problem to a certain extent, but it cannot change the outcome.
