Tips to Keeping Your Dog’s Skin and Coat Healthy
In order to keep your dog healthy you need to ensure that his or her skin and coat are healthy too. Here are some tips and tricks to maintain your dog’s coat glowing and growing.
- Provide him a healthy diet. Like humans, dogs need nutritious food to be active and healthy. Your dog’s coat can reflect his health. So make sure to give him dog food that contain the essential vitamins and minerals he needs, particularly food with Omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. Also, take note that his food need to be high in protein as this nutrient will help prevent his skin and coat from becoming dull.
- Groom him regularly. While shedding is natural for dogs, there are products available these days that can help lessen this. Do your research or talk to your vet for recommendation. However, be careful with over-bathing your buddy. Bathing him too frequently will lead to dry skin and irritation.
- Medical checkups. it is best to take your pal to the vet if you notice that he’s consistently itchy, or shedding more than usual to eliminate more serious problems, like ringworm. Remember, better safe than sorry.
