A Samoyed usually begins its ‘face change’ around 3 months, entering the awkward phase. This lasts from 3 to 6 months, when heavy shedding, dull, sparse coat makes it look unattractive, but it becomes beautiful once past this stage.
During the awkward phase, add lecithin, seaweed powder, or coat-beauty powder to the feed to help it through.
