How Long Do Labradors Moult for?

Labradors shed moderately throughout the year, but the shedding increases during the molting or shedding season. It happens twice every year and lasts for two to three weeks. In spring, Labs shed their winter coat and prepare for summer.

How can I get my lab to stop shedding?

To reduce Labrador shedding, brush daily, and use a de-shedding tool twice per week and more often during heavy shedding seasons. Feed a diet that targets a healthy coat and skin, including Omega fatty acids. Ensure he is always hydrated, bathe him 3-4 times a year, and control fleas and parasites.

What months do labs shed?

Labs shed the most in the winter and in the spring. Labrador Retrievers shed the most during the springtime and wintertime. Labs shed in the winter to produce a new layer of fur to protect against winter elements. They shed in the summer to cool off and not carry such a dense second layer.
