dog fur

Pooch's soft covering

Dog fur is the hair covering a dog's body, varying widely in texture, length, and color across breeds.

Some dogs have single coats while others have double coats with a soft undercoat beneath coarser guard hairs.

Dog fur appears on furniture, clothing, and car seats of dog owners: I lint-rolled the dog fur off my jacket before the meeting.
