You should know that gray teddy dogs are usually black when they are young, and will gradually start to turn gray around two months. Teddy's hair that is already completely gray will also turn black. The reason is first caused by genetic problems, which cannot be changed. For example, if the pedigree of a little Teddy is impure or the genetics are unstable, the coat color will naturally change as it grows up, but this situation will not affect the dog's health. Secondly, it may be caused by a skin disease infection. After the dog is infected with a skin disease, it will turn black. At this time, it is necessary to find the cause and use corresponding drugs for treatment before it can recover.
1. Genetic inheritance
The color of a dog's hair is affected by genes. For example, puppies born after crossing a gray Teddy and a black Teddy are prone to have their coat color turn black. The darkening of hair caused by this gene expression cannot be changed, but it generally does not affect the health of gray teddy dogs, so owners do not need to worry too much.
2. Infection with skin diseases
After a dog is infected with a skin disease, it will turn black. At this time, it is necessary to find the cause and use corresponding drugs for treatment before it can recover.
In addition, feeding Teddy a single or poor-quality dog food will lead to malnutrition and cause gray hair to turn black. Therefore, owners must pay attention to the nutritional balance of Teddy and feed Teddy high-quality dog food. They can also occasionally feed Teddy an appropriate amount of high-protein foods such as chicken and beef to meet the dog's body's protein needs. At the same time, you can also appropriately feed your dog some vitamin-rich vegetables, fruits, etc.
Note: Due to the special nature of gray Teddy dogs, it is recommended that owners not only pay attention to nutritional supplements, but also take good care of their hair and give them regular treatment. Bathe and trim the gray Teddy's hair to avoid messy or tangled hair. It is recommended to bathe the Gray Teddy once every 7-15 days and use a pet-specific shower gel.
