1. š§¼ Brush Regularly
Brushing isnāt just to remove loose furāit helps with blood circulation, reduces shedding, and prevents tangles.
Tips:
- For long-haired dogs: Brush every day.
- For short-haired dogs: 2ā3 times a week is enough.
- Use the right brush type for your dogās coat.
Bonus tip: Make brushing a bonding moment with treats and praise!
2. š Bathe When Needed
Dogs donāt need daily baths, but a good wash every few weeks keeps their coat clean and fresh.
Tips:
- Use dog-friendly shampoo (not human shampoo).
- Rinse thoroughly to avoid irritation.
- Make sure theyāre dry before going outside.
Donāt overdo itātoo many baths can dry out their skin.
3. āļø Trim If Necessary
Some dogs need regular trims, especially around the eyes, paws, or bottom.
Tips:
- Be gentle and carefulāif unsure, visit a groomer.
- For dogs with fast-growing fur (like Poodles or Shih Tzus), schedule monthly trims.
4. š Healthy Diet = Healthy Fur
What your dog eats affects their fur. Omega-3 and -6 fatty acids can make it shinier and reduce shedding.
Tips:
- Add a little fish oil to their meals (ask your vet first).
- High-quality dog food really makes a difference.
5. š¦ Watch Out for Fleas & Ticks
Itchy skin = more scratching = messy fur.
Tips:
- Use flea/tick prevention regularly.
- Check their fur after outdoor walks.
