You know that dog with shiny, silky and healthy-looking coat? It’s beautiful isn’t it? Know that taking care of the dog’s hair is not just a matter of aesthetics, it is a care for the dog that results in the well-being and improvement of the quality of life of your pet.

Unlike what many people think, the dog’s coat plays a very important role in its health, as it helps in maintaining the dog’s temperature and in protecting against external agents. Therefore, it is essential to know how to take care of your dog’s hair in the right way. Let’s give some tips to keep your companion’s hair always looked after.

 Bathing the dog

Bathing the dog is important to maintain the animal’s hygiene and also helps to keep the dog’s coat smelling and clean. If you like bathing your little friend at home, let’s give you some tips!

Know the ideal frequency for bathing, as your fluffy hair naturally produces a fat that leaves the hair shiny and helps develop protection against bacteria. In the case of dogs with short coats, the right thing would be a bath every 15 days, and those with long hair, can get one bath a week.

  1. Choose a shampoo for dogs suitable for your pet’s type of hair;
  2. Be careful to dry the dog well with a towel and then with a dryer.

Dog brushing

 When your companion leaves the pet shop after a beauty shower, it makes you want to keep him that way, right? The first tip to take care of dog hair is to do a thorough brushing every day to eliminate dead hair, untangle (in the case of dogs with long hair) and help in the growth of new hair. It is important to choose a dog brush or dog comb suitable for each type of coat.

 Good nutrition

 The beauty of the dog’s coat is directly linked to the health of your pet and therefore, good nutrition is essential. Always give the best ration to your friend and be sure to pay attention to the ideal daily amount. You have no excuse for not taking good care of your puppy!
