Are you struggling with skincare issues for your dog? Maybe you don’t know the first thing to do about caring for your pooch’s skin. Well, our professional dog groomer is here to help! From cleaning skin folds to recognizing allergies and reactions, we want to give your furry friend a comfortable, lazy life and to give you the tips to make that happen.
Bathing
The products you are using to bathe your dog are important. Some shampoos have dyes that your pooch can be allergic to or just irritated by. A variety of sensitive shampoos exist on the market. Some people swear by hypoallergenic shampoos or even oatmeal varieties. You will want to check with our professional dog groomers to see what is best for your pet based on breed, coat type, and specific conditions related to your dog individually.
Diet
Paying attention to the food you’re feeding Fido (or insert name here) has a large impact on the quality of his or her skin. Some kibble works for certain dogs and some fresh homemade food works for others. Know that outward problems can manifest from inward ones, so you’ll have to manage what is going into your dog as well as monitoring the condition of the skin and coat. Also, don’t forget water! Hydration is vital to healthy skin amongst other very important functions.
Supplements
Lastly, supplements can be a huge help. Aside from regular heart and anti-tick or flea medications and such, all dogs will benefit from supplements that they don’t get enough of in their diet. Many supplements from Omega fish oils to allergy relief from pollen outside exist. They can be in the form of chews, pills, or even liquids you can mix into their breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You can be the judge of the form of supplement your pup tolerates the best!
