Natural Dog Skin Care
By just following these five easy dog skin care steps your pooch will be at the head of the posh pooch parade!
Five Easy Dog Skin Care Steps:
1. A good nutritious diet is the best way to ensure that your dog stays strong and healthy. Fat is essential for a healthy skin and promotes a shiny coat.
2. Exercise: Take your dog for a daily walk – twice if you can squeeze in the time.
3. Daily Brushing: Even five minutes of gentle brushing stimulates the oil glands in the skin and nourishes the coat.
4. Shampoo: Use a good quality shampoo with natural ingredients such as oatmeal, papaya or aloe. If your dog has dry, itchy skin selects a shampoo that has a moisturizing ingredient. Take appropriate steps to rid your dog of these pests.
If you notice that your dog has developed a skin problem and is not responding to the above basic principles of good dog skin care, you may want to apply a natural pet balm to the affected area. If all fails – schedule a visit to the vet.
