A dog grooming tip for you and your friend

Grooming your pet is very important! Your dog's skin and coat are a reflection of his overall health. It also makes your pet feel good and look terrific.

A clean, shiny coat and healthy skin are signs of well-being.

A dull coat and flaky skin may be a sign of illness, poor diet or other conditions.

Keeping your dog's coat clean and well-groomed enables you to notice skin problems, and other changes in your dog's condition before they become serious.

Brushing your dog removes mats, tangles, loose hair, and stimulates the production of natural skin oils. It also reduces shedding and helps to keep his coat shiny and healthy, in addition to providing you both an ideal opportunity to interact and bond together.

An important dog grooming tip - let your dog sniff the brush and comb before you start. As you are grooming, talk to your pet in a reassuring tone and offer praise. If the grooming procedure is made comfortable, he will enjoy the procedure and begin to look forward to regular grooming sessions.

Always, before bathing, brush and comb your dog's coat thoroughly, down to the skin . Washing a matted coat causes the tangles to shrink, making it impossible to comb out.

Long-haired dogs should be groomed daily, while short-haired breeds may require grooming only twice a week.

Your dog's skin and coat is replaced at a rapid rate. Protein, fat, vitamins and minerals are the main building materials. Normal skin and hair growth uses up to 25 % of the daily protein requirement of your dog. A large percentage of skin problems originate from the inside, which includes poor nutrition, food allergies, hormonal problems, inheritance and disease.

And so, a very important dog grooming tip that requires the least work is to add vitamins and minerals to your dog's already balanced diet. Natural Omega-3 & 6 fatty acids help keep your dog's coat shiny and skin healthy and soft.

By providing your pet with added nutrients and daily grooming, his (or her) coat will be clean, shiny, and healthy!

A healthy hair coat indicates healthy skin, and also a healthy dog.
