A dog’s coat goes through a growth cycle that depends on the type of coat and genetic factors. In some dogs, the coat continues to grow continuously, with a growth rate of about 0.5-1.25 cm per month. In other dogs, the coat stops growing once it reaches a certain length. The life cycle of the coat consists of several stages: growth, resting, shedding and regrowth, involving both the outer coat and the undercoat.
