Nutrition and COAT CARE

A dog's coat is a strong refection of their diet. A shiny, soft coat and healthy skin is an indication that your puppy's food is enriched with Omega 3 and 6 amino acids. On the other hand, a diet lacking in the appropriate nutrition can result in a dull, limp coat. A tailored nutritional diet is the first step to caring for your puppy's coat.

How to care for YOUR PUPPY'S COAT

No matter the coat length, your puppy will require a level of grooming to avoid skin irritations and prevent mats. Dogs can moult all year round, although moulting does generally increase in spring and autumn. Regular brushing and bathing helps remove dead hairs. The appropriate frequency and necessary tools will depend on the type of coat.

Giving your PUPPY A BATH

If your puppy likes to swim, or often gets muddy on walks, they may require regular baths. Long-haired dogs may require more frequent bathing than others to be sure their coat is kept clean.

When to bath a puppy

It is important to note that you shouldn't bath your puppy too often, as this can cause an imbalance in their skin's natural pH and dry out their coat. As they grow, only bath your puppy when necessary.
