Follow this simple guide to giving your furry friend's coat the love it needs

Long-haired, short-haired, wiry or sleek – every dog’s coat should be kept groomed and neat. Not only does running your fingers through a dog’s fluffy coat bring sheer delight, but a well-maintained coat can be an indication that your pet is healthy and happy.

Follow this simple guide to giving your furry friend’s coat the love it needs:

 

1. Check for pests.

Examine your dog’s coat regularly. Be on the lookout for the presence of ticks, fleas, lice and other external parasites that lead to discomfort and even infection. If you spot any parasites, seek the advice of your veterinarian on the next course of action. While some vets may prescribe a one-time solution, more severe infestations may require proper maintenance and a general cleaning of your pet’s favorite areas around the house.

 

2. Consider allergies.

Is your dog itching and twitching non-stop? If he is otherwise healthy and a close examination found him free from pests, then it’s possible that his discomfort could have been caused by an allergic reaction to something in his environment, such as pollen, dust, mold, or sometimes even the food he eats! Allergic dermatitis is an inflammation of the skin that results to licking, scratching, loss of fur, and dry flaky skin. It’s best to consult your vet ASAP to find the right treatment.

 

3. Ensure proper hygiene.

While dogs can generally go on longer without bathing than their pet parents can, a good scrub is definitely needed at least once a week, depending on their breed. Be sure to pamper your pooch from snout to tail with only what’s safe and healthy like our Furry Kind Natural Cocomutt Shampoo. This goes well in tandem with our Furry Kind SunShine Serum, infused with sunflower, soybean and sweet orange oil that gently detangles and helps deodorize their cuddly coats for soft, silky and sunshine-fresh fur.

 

4. Prioritize nutrition.

Your dog should be well fed. Even if your dog’s skin problems might not be dietary oriented, you could help him a lot by giving a well-balanced diet, specially formulated to cater for sensitive skins. You should scout for dog food that has high amount of protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants, which are all important aids in protecting your dog’s skin and strengthening their fur.
