Healthy skin, beautiful coat!
Under the influence of certain factors, the pet’s coat and skin can lose their health and beauty. We talked about this in more detail in the article “”. But these 5 steps will help you keep your pet looking flawless all year round.
How to deal with tangles, dandruff and dry skin in dogs and cats?
- Balanced diet. A balanced diet and a proper feeding schedule will ensure that your pet is getting the right amount of vitamins and minerals. And this is a guarantee of not only beauty, but also a well-groomed appearance. With an imbalance of nutrients in the body, problems such as hair loss and dullness, dry skin, dandruff, dermatitis and many other more serious ailments arise. Therefore, maintaining beauty in the first place should begin with the most basic – with nutrition.
- Healthy goodies. Cats and dogs love a variety of foods. But we know that feeding them off the table and mixing different food lines is not recommended. How to supplement the diet so that it is useful for the pet? Special healthy treats for cats and dogs come to the rescue. Among them there are vitamin treats for wool and skin, for example, “Mnyams”. Useful components in the composition of such delicacies prevent dry skin and give the coat brightness and shine.
- Plentiful drink. And one more item necessary for proper metabolism, maintaining an optimal water balance in the body, and hence for the health of the skin and coat. Make sure that clean, fresh drinking water is always freely available to your pet. If your cat doesn’t drink much, go for the trick and get her a “fountain” with drinking water. Another way to increase fluid intake is to introduce moist, balanced foods into the diet.
- Proper care. Pet skin and coat care consists of regular combing, proper washing and grooming procedures (haircuts and trimming if necessary).
The main thing is to carry out the procedure correctly and use high-quality products that are suitable specifically for your pet. In most cases, problems such as dermatitis, dandruff and dullness of the skin are caused by insufficient quality or inappropriate products: for example, human shampoos or simply the wrong line of shampoos, conditioners, etc.
For irritations and dandruff, special regenerating shampoos, conditioners and masks with a bactericidal effect should be used. For example, ISB’s Fruit of the Grommer Ginger & Elderbery line of cosmetics restores the skin, reduces itching, and gives the coat luxuriance and radiance.
There are also special tools for unraveling tangles (ISB Traditional Line Pek conditioners). They restore the moisture level of the skin, restore elasticity, energy and volume to the hair, and most importantly, they greatly facilitate combing and allow you to deal with tangles right at home.
- Active lifestyle and regular health checks. Above we said that beauty is impossible without health. But taking care of your pet’s health is not only about balanced feeding and grooming. To maintain good physical shape and strong immunity, dogs need regular walks at least 2 times a day and exercise. Cats that may never leave the apartment also need active play. In addition, do not forget about routine treatments for parasites and vaccinations. Visit the veterinarian not only when a problem occurs, but also for prevention purposes, because diseases are easier to prevent than to treat.
These steps will help you maintain your pet’s good health and appearance. He will be grateful to you, and you will smile, looking at your healthy and beautiful ward.
