[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The German Spitz\u2019s thick coat is relatively easy to care for, provided it is groomed regularly and thoroughly to maintain its cleanliness, volume, and silky appearance.<\/p>\n
Its coat is naturally low-odor and does not tangle easily when properly maintained.<\/p>\n
The Spitz has a particularly abundant double coat (complex fur), composed of:<\/p>\n
long, straight outer coat hairs,<\/p>\n
and a dense, woolly, and soft undercoat (down).<\/p>\n
This specific structure gives the Spitz its characteristic volume and elegant appearance, while also providing good protection against the cold and varying weather conditions.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u201d1\/3\u2033][vc_single_image image=\u201d7012\u2033 img_size=\u201d500*500\u2033 alignment=\u201dcenter\u201d][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=\u201dstretch_row\u201d equal_height=\u201dyes\u201d content_placement=\u201dmiddle\u201d el_class=\u201dbg-color-1\u2033][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u201d1\/3\u2033][vc_single_image image=\u201d6981\u2033 img_size=\u201d500*400\u2033 alignment=\u201dcenter\u201d][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u201d2\/3\u2033][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
The outer coat protects the undercoat (down).<\/p>\n
It forms a natural barrier against the sun, rain, and external aggressors.<\/p>\n
The down, on the other hand, plays an essential role in thermal insulation.<\/p>\n
It protects the dog from both cold and heat. This dense undercoat is shed mainly during shedding periods, particularly in the spring.<\/p>\n
It is therefore crucial not to damage this double coat, which is essential for the dog\u2019s well-being.<\/p>\n
The coat should never be shaved or cut too short.<\/p>\n
If it is cut too short, it no longer properly fulfills its protective function. The down is exposed to the sun\u2019s rays, which eliminates the skin\u2019s natural protection and can weaken the animal.<\/p>\n
Around 4 to 5 months of age, the puppy undergoes its first molt: it loses its puppy coat to make way for its adult coat.<\/p>\n
The German Spitz then undergoes two molts per year, during which hair loss can be significant.<\/p>\n
These periods are normal and part of the breed\u2019s natural cycle.<\/p>\n
The German Spitz undergoes 2 moults by year during which hair loss is important.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=\u201dstretch_row\u201d equal_height=\u201dyes\u201d content_placement=\u201dmiddle\u201d el_class=\u201dbg-color-2\u2033][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u201d1\/4\u2033][vc_single_image image=\u201d3927\u2033 img_size=\u201d500*500\u2033 alignment=\u201dcenter\u201d][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u201d1\/4\u2033][vc_single_image image=\u201d3267\u2033 img_size=\u201d500*500\u2033 alignment=\u201dcenter\u201d][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u201d1\/4\u2033][vc_single_image image=\u201d3375\u2033 img_size=\u201d500*500\u2033 alignment=\u201dcenter\u201d][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u201d1\/4\u2033][vc_single_image image=\u201d3929\u2033 img_size=\u201d500*500\u2033 alignment=\u201dcenter\u201d][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=\u201d5916\u2033 img_size=\u201dfull\u201d alignment=\u201dcenter\u201d css_animation=\u201dfadeIn\u201d][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The German Spitz\u2019s double coat is an essential characteristic of the breed.

Regular grooming that respects its natural structure is essential to preserving its qualities.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not simply about aesthetics, but about a true balance between health, comfort, and functionality.<\/p>\n
Preserving the double coat means respecting the very nature of the Spitz.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=\u201d2rem\u201d][vc_btn title=\u201dGrooming\u201d style=\u201d3d\u201d align=\u201dcenter\u201d i_icon_fontawesome=\u201dfas fa-dog\u201d add_icon=\u201dtrue\u201d link=\u201durl:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pomsdelalezardiere.fr%2Fen%2Fcare%2Fgrooming%2F|title:grooming|target:%20_blank|\u201d][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
