Teddy dogs usually start graying at about 3 months, and the process lasts 3-4 months. The hair on the head and paws lightens first, then the back and legs. To support healthy graying, give lecithin-rich foods like egg yolk, salmon, and carrots, and allow moderate sun exposure. Importantly, avoid frequent bathing during this period, as it hinders graying and can cause coat or skin problems.
