Expert Answer

A German Shepherd generally finishes shedding its puppy coat at 7-8 months, with variation by individual. It usually starts around 3 months and the process lasts about 5 months. During this time, to help smooth shedding, faster new growth, and better coat quality, the owner should add enough nutrition, such as egg yolk and lecithin, to make the coat shinier.
