A dog's coat density is related to its nutritional status, genetic makeup, and health. If a Teddy's fur is sparse, the owner can feed it foods rich in protein, vitamins, lecithin, and unsaturated fatty acids, such as chicken breast, beef, egg yolk, fish oil, fruit, and vegetables. Second, brush the Teddy regularly, 2-3 times a week, to help remove impurities and dead skin cells and promote blood circulation and the growth of new hair. Finally, bathe the dog regularly to keep the coat clean and healthy, using a pet-specific shampoo to avoid damaging the dog's skin barrier.
